Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Legends of Early Days In writing these poems of the Indians' legends, the writer had in mind the saving of their "Folk Lore," sayings which have proved to be very accurate, as any one can know who cares to watch and investigate their signs and sayings. As the centuries pass, and merge into the ever present now, the past like the swirling streak of white in the wake of a vessel, grows dim and full of mystery as the years speed by. Still to the deep thinker, it is a chart, or log book, (when once it is solved,) full of instructions, to guide them away from the reefs and shoals, that other lives have found along the narrow straits of life's sea. The joys of the past are joys of the present, the sorrows, the voices of prophets, warning of danger. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Old Indian Legends written by Zitkala-Sa and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[...]hurry off! Stop! halt!" urged one of the singers. "Stop! stay! Show us what is in your blanket!" cried out other voices. "My friends, I must not spoil your dance. Oh, you would not care to see if you only knew what is in my blanket. Sing on! dance on! I must not show you what I carry on my back," answered Iktomi, nudging his own sides with his elbows. This reply broke up the ring entirely. Now all the ducks crowded about Iktomi. "We must see what you carry! We must know what is in your blanket!" they shouted in both his ears. Some even brushed their wings against the mysterious bundle. Nudging himself again, wily Iktomi said, "My friends, 't is only a pack of songs I carry in my blanket." "Oh, then let us hear your songs!" cried the curious ducks. At length Iktomi consented to sing his songs. With delight all the ducks flapped their wings and cried together, "Hoye! hoye!" Iktomi, with great care, laid down his bundle on the ground. "I will build first a round straw house, for I never sing my songs in the open air," said he. Quickly he bent green willow sticks, planting both ends of each pole into[...]".

Download or read book American Indian Stories Legends and Other Writings written by Zitkala-Sa and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2003-02-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thought-provoking collection of searing prose from a Sioux woman that covers race, identity, assimilation, and perceptions of Native American culture Zitkala-Sa wrestled with the conflicting influences of American Indian and white culture throughout her life. Raised on a Sioux reservation, she was educated at boarding schools that enforced assimilation and was witness to major events in white-Indian relations in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Tapping her troubled personal history, Zitkala-Sa created stories that illuminate the tragedy and complexity of the American Indian experience. In evocative prose laced with political savvy, she forces new thinking about the perceptions, assumptions, and customs of both Sioux and white cultures and raises issues of assimilation, identity, and race relations that remain compelling today.

Download or read book OLD INDIAN LEGENDS 14 Native American Legends from the Dakotas written by Anon E. Mouse and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under an open sky, nestling close to the earth, the old Dakota story-tellers have told these legends time and again. While it is easy to recognise such legends without difficulty, the renderings may vary in little incidents. Here, Zitkala-Sa has tried to transplant the native spirit of these tales -- root and all -- into the English language, since America in the last few centuries has acquired a second tongue. In this volume you will find these fourteen stories and legends from the Dakotas: Iktomi And The Ducks Iktomi's Blanket Iktomi And The Muskrat Iktomi And The Coyote Iktomi And The Fawn The Badger And The Bear The Tree-Bound Shooting Of The Red Eagle Iktomi And The Turtle Dance In A Buffalo Skull The Toad And The Boy Iya, The Camp-Eater Manstin, The Rabbit The Warlike Seven THESE ARE relics of the USA’s once virgin soil. These and many others are the tales the American Indians loved so much to hear beside the night fire. For these people the personified elements and other spirits played in a vast world right around the center fire of the wigwam. It was around such fires that these 14 stories would have been told The old legends of North America now belong quite as much to the fair-skinned little patriot as to the land’s black-haired aborigine. And when they are grown tall may they, in their wisdom, not lack interest in a further study of American Indian folklore. A study which so strongly suggests the USA’s near kinship with the rest of humanity and points a steady finger toward the great brotherhood of mankind, and by which one is so forcibly impressed with the possible earnestness of life as seen through the teepee door! If it be true that much lies "in the eye of the beholder," then in the American aborigine, as in any other race, sincerity of belief, though it were based upon mere optical illusion, demands a little respect. After all, at heart, they are much like other peoples. We invite you to settle down in a comfy chair and journey back to a time when these stories were told around campfires, to the delight of young and old alike. ============= KEYWORDS-TAGS: old indian legends, Dakotas, north Dakota, south Dakota, fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, fables, cultural, setting, iktomi, ducks, blanket, muskrat, coyote, fawn, badger, bear, tree bound, shooting red eagle, turtle, dance, buffalo skull, toad, the boy, iya, camp eater, manstin, rabbit, warlike, seven, Midwestern United States, Midwest, Black Hills, Deadwood, Fort Buford, Standing Rock, Wounded Knee, Upper Missouri River, Bismark, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Pine Ridge, Rosebud, Grand Forks, Lake Traverse, I29, I94, I90
