The stories and legends of the Lushootseed-speaking people of Puget
Sound represent an important part of the oral tradition by which
one generation hands down beliefs, values, and customs to another.
Vi Hilbert grew up when many of the old social patterns survived
and everyone spoke the ancestral language. Haboo, Hilbert's
collection of thirty-three stories, features tales mostly set in
the Myth Age, before the world transformed. Animals, plants, trees,
and even rocks had human attributes. Prominent characters like
Wolf, Salmon, and Changer and tricksters like Mink, Raven, and
Coyote populate humorous, earthy stories that reflect foibles of
human nature, convey serious moral instruction, and comically
detail the unfortunate, even disastrous consequences of breaking
taboos. Beautifully redesigned and with a new foreword by Jill La
Pointe, Haboo offers a vivid and invaluable resource for linguists,
anthropologists, folklorists, future generations of
Lushootseed-speaking people, and others interested in Native
languages and cultures.
