Blackfoot Lodge Tales : The Story Of A Prairie People
Paperback Edition: 1
This collection of powerful stories reveals the complex and wondrous world of the Blackfoot nation in the 19th century. The 30 tales transcribed by George Bird Grinnell provide an intimate look into Blackfoot culture and philosophy and remind us of tribal values to be upheld
and taught. Classic tales of adventure speak of deeds accomplished, and cultural heroes roam across an arresting native landscape of legend and history. Ancient stories, captured in oral tradition, cast the shadow of the Blackfoot people far into the past and provide foundation and meaning for their lives in the present. The final section of this book is an insightful overview of the history and culture of the Blackfoot Nation. First published in 1892, Blackfoot Lodge Tales is based on George Bird Grinnell's personal interactions with the Blackfoot people.
