This article demonstrates the value of Dell Hymes's theory of ethnopoetics through an analysis of two Koryak stories recorded during the winter of 1900-1901. It builds upon a tradition of linguistic anthropology established by Franz Boas. The author provide some background to Boasian documentation of oral literature, as well as Hymes's theory of ethnopoetics and then offer a close reading of two stories in Koryak. Such close analysis uncovers the artistry of the storytellers, and the author discuss aesthetic commonalities as well as differences among texts produced by Koryak narrators. Hymesian ethnopoetic analysis can uncover indices of performance in the written transcription of sound recordings. The complete texts of the two stories are formatted in Hymesian verse form and presented in appendices. A commentary to this article by Richard Bauman, appears later in this special issue
