Abstract:

This second volume of our Ute trilogy contains a collection of Ute oral texts.
Ute oral literature reflects the life experience of a small-scale
hunting-and-gathering Society of Intimates and its tight connection to the
local terrain, flora and fauna that supported the hunter-gatherer life. Ute
story-telling tradition is the people's literary heritage, with the narrative
style allowing considerable artistic freedom and diversity in contents and
style. Stories were not memorized verbatim, and story-tellers took creative
liberty in elaborating and re-inventing the 'same' tale. The core cultural
contents of each story are nevertheless preserved across tellers. Ute stories
were most likely told at night around the fire, in front of or inside the
lodge, to a mixed audience of children and adults who had heard the tale many
time before. The stories aimed to both instruct and entertain. Their
underlying themes are stoic and oft-cynical reflections on the vagaries of
human behavior and harsh existence. They are the foundational literary
tradition of The People--Núuchi-u.
