That is tremendous! I know the children in my daughter's reading group at school will be pleased to hear this.
I liked it very much, and agree that it adds to, not interrupts, the story being told. And, it is done quite naturally - the way people tell stories to each other, be they Native (or not) in 1999 or 1899.
Cheryl Savageau uses this technique in her 1996 picture book MUSKRAT WILL BE SWIMMING, which is a story about a modern day Native child As in BH, it is seamless, natural.
