45. Two Old Women (Gwich'in Folklore)
In today's episode we discuss the Gwich'in story of Ch'idzigyaak and Sa', as told in the book Two Old Women by Velma Wallis. We discuss oral tradition, forgiveness in a story, and the importance of recognizing a story as not universal. For more information about today's episode, go to mytholadies.com.
