Abstract
This paper describes the use of folklore (the telling of tales, stories, etc.) by school administrators in five rural Alaskan communities as a tool for communication of complex cultural issues. It is suggested that occupational phenomena as well as cross-cultural ideas are communicated and that such communication is important in recruiting and retaining school administrators in such settings
