I remember reading a manuscript by a scholar whom I respect on the Koyukon story Ggaadook as told by Sally Pilot (Pilot 1975, 1986), in which he made what to my mind was a masterful analysis of the story linking the Koyukon riddletelling tradition to metaphoric riddles embedded within the story. I told a Koyukon woman who had read his manuscript about my enthusiasm for the article. Her response was something like, Yes, but he missed the entire point of the story. It is about a boy becoming a medicine person. Outside of this major misreading of the story, I still believe the manuscript to be fascinating, but in this article I wish to concentrate on the main point of the story and others like it
