Living by Stories presents the third volume of oral narratives from Okanagan storyteller Harry Robinson, weaving together myth and memory across generations. Rooted in the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, these tales bring to life the voices and traditions of the Syilx people.

The first section delves into the mythological age, featuring Coyote as both trickster and transformer. These timeless stories reveal moral lessons, the origins of natural phenomena, and the playful spirit of a world in flux.

The latter narratives shift to a more recent past, recounting the arrival of newcomers who reshaped the land and challenged Indigenous ways of life. Through firsthand accounts and communal memory, Robinson captures moments of conflict, adaptation, and resilience.

Key features:

  • Coyote myths and transformative tales
  • Mythic stories anchored in Okanagan geography
  • Historical narratives of colonial contact
  • Themes of memory, identity, and cultural continuity
