| Summary: | We have collaborated on the representation of Yupik folklore and traditions on and off since the 1980s. The result is usually a co-authored piece with a unified voice. For this article, we wanted to highlight the collaborative process by including some of the dialogue between us. We now live several hundred miles apart, so our collaboration takes place by telephone, facsimile, and mail when we cannot sit at the same table. What follows is a joint commentary on Phillip Charlie's quliraq, highlighted with direct quotations from our correspondence and conversations. These are presented as "interludes" in the text, identified as either Elsie Mather's (EM) or Phyllis Morrow's (PM) voice. We also present our metaconversation about collaboration. Note: quotation markes removed from title to ensure alphabetical order. Difference as follows; "There Are No More Words to the Story." Issue title; "Native American Oral Traditions: Collaboration and Interpretation."
