Cherokee stories of the Turtle Island liars' club : Dakasi elohi anigagoga junilawisdii (turtle, earth, the liars, meeting place) / written by Christopher B. Teuton ; told by Hastings Shade ... [et al.] ; illustrations by America Meredith.
A collection of interwoven stories, conversations, and teachings about Western Cherokee life, beliefs, and the art of storytelling, the book orchestrates a multilayered conversation between a group of honored Cherokee elders, storytellers, and knowledge-keepers and the communities their stories touch. Teuton explores the art of Cherokee storytelling, or as it is known in the Cherokee language, gagoga (gah-goh-ga), literally translated as "he or she is lying."
