Description
Red Hunters And the Animal People is a collection of charming Native American stories about animals that were written by Indian accounts largely, perhaps, for a certain quality differentiating them from others of their class. Many current stories of bird and beast show a wider knowledge of animals than do these under consideration. In this collection, however, there is expressed a feeling of camaraderie between the author and the subjects of the tales, a kinship between man and the animal world, which is not expressed elsewhere. Contents: The great cat’s nursery — On Wolf Mountain — The dance of the little people — Wechah the provider — The mustering of the herds — The sky warrior — A founder of ten towns — The gray chieftain — Hootay of the Little Rosebud — The river people — The challenge — Wild animals from the Indian stand-point — Glossary of Indian words and phrases.
