"Carry Forth the Stories breaks a trail toward a new/old way of
looking at the world that promises cultural, personal and
ecological healing."--Billings Gazette
"An impressive exploration of indigenous storytelling and
culture...in a distinctive style consistent with indigenous
storytelling methods. Dr. Frey invites the reader to indulge, not
as a casual observer, but as an active participant. This is the
heart of indigenous storytelling."--Randall Schleufer, Coeur
d'Alene Tribe, Board of Directors, Salish School of Spokane
"This book offers something very rare and very important: a
reflection on what the author has learned over a long career as a
professor and as a human being. His ability to weave together
central ideas within his scholarly work (orality, literacy,
ethnographic methodology, the ethics of scholarship, pedagogy,
traditionalism) with his own personal narrative is striking, and
often simply beautiful."--Suzanne Crawford O'Brien, Pacific
Lutheran University, author of Coming Full Circle: Spirituality and
Wellness Among Native Communities in the Pacific Northwest
