Thread Name: Origins: Hadjanek: The Snow That Comes (Bok)
Subject: Origins: Hadjanek: The Snow That Comes
Hi all, longtime appreciator here but my first time posting. I am currently memorizing for performance Gordon Bok's 'Hadjanek: The Snow That Comes' from the record Sea Djiril's Hymn, and I am wondering about the origins of the story? It sounds rather old, possibly connected to First Peoples. Am I wrong about that? Did Gordon Bok compose it himself? I have given my best general web searches to no avail. Haven't yet hit the academic journals, but this is my first stop on the way there.

More broadly, I am interested in his sources for other such things as Peter Kagan and the Wind, and also Another Land Made of Water. Surely those are worth their own threads.
