SynopsisMythology of the Blackfoot Indians, originally published in 1908 by the American Museum of Natural History, introduces such figures as Old Man, Scar-Face, Blood-Clot, and the Seven Brothers. Included are tales with ritualistic origins emphasizing the prototypical Beaver-Medicine and the roles played by Elk-Woman and Otter-Woman, and a presentation of Star Myths, which reveal the astronomical knowledge of the Blackfoot Indians. Narratives about Raven, Grasshopper, and Whirlwind-Boy account for conditions in humanity and nature. Many of the stories in the concluding group--like "The Lost Children" and "The Ghost-Woman"--were tales told to Blackfoot children. Clark Wissler notes that these narratives were collected very early in the twentieth century from the Piegans in Montana and from the North Piegans, Bloods, and Northern Blackfoot in Canada. Most were translated by D. C. Duvall and revised forMythology of the Blackfoot Indiansby Wissler., Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians , originally published in 1908 by the American Museum of Natural History, introduces such figures as Old Man, Scar-Face, Blood-Clot, and the Seven Brothers.

Educational Resources for Adults
An opportunity to find interesting literature, with the simplicity of ordering in the privacy of your own internet browsing. No need to go to a busy, inconvenient library with crowded parking and solicitors asking for donations. The price is also worthwhile when you don't have to worry about a library late fee.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Blackfoot informational book
The introduction is long, but when you get through that information it sets up the stories. I am just starting the stories. It should be good. I already have a new understanding of the tribe that I am a small percentage blood.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
