My research with Tahltan-speaking peoples investigates their oral
tradition in Tahltan and English. I conduct my work with an eye to
understanding the cultural values encoded in stories particularly where
hunting is concerned. I am interested in the way in which Tahltan and
English are used in everyday talk.
