HTML: Old Indian Legends (1901) is a collection of traditional stories from Yankton Dakota writer Zitkála-Šá. Published while Zitkála-Šá was just beginning her career as an artist and activist, Old Indian Legends collects fourteen traditional legends and stories passed down through Sioux oral tradition. Intending to keep the stories or her people alive, Zitkála-Šá popularized and protected these cultural treasures for generations to come. In "Iktomi and the Ducks," spider-trickster spirit Iktomi befriends a group of ducks by playing them music to dance to. Gaining their trust, he sends them into a dancing frenzy causing them to break their necks, after which he takes them to his teepee to cook a meal. When a tree branch snaps outside, distracting Iktomi, a pack of wolves moves in for a feast of their own. In "Iktomi's Blanket," a starving Iktomi prays to Inyan for a blessing of food. Stumbling across a deer carcass, he believes his prayers have been answered and prepares a fire to roast the deer meat over. Feeling a chill, however, he goes to his teepee for a blanket, leaving the fire unattended. Throughout her collection, Zitkála-Šá faithfully and respectfully retells the stories of her people. Old Indian Legends is a charming compilation from one of the leading American Indian writers of her generation, a committed activist and true voice for change who saw through her own eyes the lives and experiences of countless others. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Zitkála-Šá's Old Indian Legends is a classic of American Indian literature reima Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Many of the stories bear marked resemblance to tales by other Plains nations. It is cool to read these stories and imagine how they may have been passed down and changed as the tribes lived, developed, and split apart.
To read more stories like this, I would recommend "Blackfeet Indian Stories" by George Bird Grinnell. It includes "Kut-o-yis, the Blood Boy" which has similar elements to Zitkala-Sa's "The Badger and the Bear". Also, "Myths and Legends of the Sioux" by Marie L. McLaughlin contains a tale called "White Plume" which contains some of the same details as Zitkala-Sa's "The Tree-Bound".
