N2  - "Less than fifteen Nuxalk language speakers and storytellers  remain in Bella Coola, British Columbia, today. One of these  elders is the director Banchi Hanuse's 80-year-old  grandmother. In a technologically obsessed century, it would  seem easier to record Nuxalk stories for future generations,  but Hanuse resists. Instead, she asks whether an electronic  recording can capture the true meaning and value of these  oral traditions. More importantly, can it be considered  cultural knowledge? Cry Rock examines how Nuxalk stories are  more than mere words. With the passing of an elder, an  invaluable link to a treasure of knowledge and experience  reflecting the Nuxalk [Nuxalkmc] world view is lost. As  Hanuse struggles with the decision, a spine tingling story  about the Cry Rock in the bend of the Atnarko River, nestled  in the Bella Coola Valley, is retold by Clyde Tallio, a  young Nuxalk man."--Container
