I bought this book after touring the BC Museum of Anthropology, and found reading these stories to be a perfect compliment to the art to be found there. The stories are colorful, surreal, and told with an often playful tone. The Raven stories that form the bulk of the stories are particularly good for the way they capture the essence of the immortal (and often amoral) trickster. A couple of the stories in this unrelated to Raven did fall a little flat for me, but all of them had interesting aspects and I greatly enjoyed most of the tales.
