Shamans and Kushtakas North Coast Tales of the Supernatural by Mary Giraudo Beck

Both struck terror in the hearts of the Tlingit and Haida, for both possessed frightening supernatural powers. 
Mary Giraudo Beck provides a powerful mix of history, legend and adventure to dramatize the values and traditions of Tlingit and Haida societies. A teacher and writer, she uses her abiding interest in the Native culture of Southeast Alaska to tell the heroic and wondrous incidents in these stories that transcend time and culture. 
A compelling read for young and old alike!
