Samples of Narratives
Some of the Wichita oral narratives recorded by Rood in the 1960s and 1970s have been digitized and annotated. A subset of these are now available in electronic form here on our website.
Below you can choose to view a narrative in PDF or in HTML form. The
HTML forms allow you to specify the number of tiers of glossing that you would like to see as well
as the option of hearing the sound recording. At the moment only one text is available in all
these forms. We hope to provide some other annotated texts in the future.
