This rich, experimental ethnography plays within the margins of mythology and ethnographic practice to pursue a decolonizing method of inquiry and intercultural engagement. Through narratives about the mythic trickster Letao, a riM?aje? elder storyteller takes the author on a journey into a deep cosmological past and back into the colonial present.
