Himwica` : Our Legends. As Told by Our Hupacasath Elders"Foreword: The stories told here are the collective memories of the fluent speakers group. Five speakers can tell each story five different ways. Amongst them, they decided on the versions you read here. As few as possible liberties were taken in writing the English translation in order to preserve the tone of the dialogue. It is important to remember that this is not a word for word translation, but an accurate reflection of the Nuu Chah Nulth stories." --Hupacasath Publications
