text: This isn't exactly, Much Ado About Nothing, but it's turning out that way. Jospeh Boyden's ancestors had no written language, their stories were part of the oral tradition, much like Beowolf is the major example used in English literature classes of the English oral tradition. Later of course, printing was introduced, an Beowolf was written down.  Not so in the case of Boyden's ancestors.  To me Joseph Boyden has done more to educated Canadians about the people of the First Nations.  Good for him.  I give him the benefit of the doubt.  Now we should all put this mess behind us and concentrate on something more important: the outing of that imposter Archibald Belaney.
