**W.Y. Evanz-Wentz, The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries, Citadel Press, Carol Publishing Group, 1994
**W.Y. Evanz-Wentz provides many important and meaningful accounts of Irish folklore in the fairy-faith tradition, but it's important to note this narrative is rooted in his lens as an American anthropologist, and that in itself is rooted in white supremacy and colonialism. Much of his best-known work is around the study of Tibetan Bhuddism and his translation of the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Contexts and lenses are everything.
Texts on Pacific Northwest Indigenous stories and folklore are included here because this is my bioregion, and these are included as examples of the importance of knowing the land-based histories and stories of the Indigenous peoples where we live.
