Bilingual curriculum among the Northern Arapaho : oral tradition, literacy, and performance / Andrew Cowell. - [Hurst, Tex.] : Southwestern American Indian Society, 2002. - p. 24-43 ; 29 cm.

Native-speaking Northern Arapaho elders produced bilingual booklets for their reservation schools that, due to their ephemeral nature and local context, provided access to intimate information about their producers and contexts. These booklets provide the best example within the culture of how traditional practices of oral performance (storytelling) can be mediated via written materials.
