The book delves into a Haida myth, exploring its profound meanings through the lens of anthropology. Set against the backdrop of 1951 Oregon, it examines the tale of a chief's son who falls in love with a wild goose-girl, illustrating themes of love, loss, and transformation as he becomes a seagull. Snyder analyzes various global interpretations of the myth, connecting its ancient wisdom to contemporary life, and reflects on the significance of storytelling in understanding human experience.
