Biomedicine and the human condition Book

The legends (with one exception) are Squamish and were told to Johnson by Chief Joe Capilano (also with a few exceptions). Pauline Johnson was clearly a gifted storyteller, and I think a good part of the reason people continue to find the stories so compelling is the way she tells them. However, I think the way the stories came about and are credited brings up some interesting questions/issues with respect to written vs. oral storytelling, as well as the weight we place on the importance of the book. None of the oral storytellers are given co-author credit, and while Joe Capilano is at least mentioned by name, some of the stories are told to Johnson by a woman (or women? it's unclear whether it's the same woman or different ones) who isn't identified.
