Download or read book The Pawnee Mythology written by George Amos Dorsey and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pawnee Mythology, originally published in 1906, preserves 148 tales of the Pawnee Indians, who farmed and hunted and lived in earth-covered lodges along the Platte River in Nebraska. The stories, collected from surviving members of four bands-Skidi, Pitahauirat, Kitkehahki, and Chaui-were generally told during intermissions of sacred ceremonies. Many were accompanied by music. George A. Dorsey recorded these Pawnee myths early in the twentieth century after the tribe's traumatic removal from their ancestral homeland to Oklahoma. He included stories of instruction concerning supernatural beings, the importance of revering such gifts as the buffalo and corn, and the results of violating nature. Hero tales, forming another group, usually centered on a poor boy who overcame all odds to benefit the tribe. Other tales invited good fortune, recognized wonderful beings like the witch women and spider women, and explained the origin of medicine powers. Coyote tales were meant to amuse while teaching ethics. George A. Dorsey (1868-1931) was a distinguished anthropologist and journalist who also wrote about the traditions of the Arapahos, Arikaras, and Osages. Douglas R. Parks is a professor of anthropology and associate director of the American Indian Studies Research Institute at Indiana University. He is the editor of James R. Murie's Ceremonies of the Pawnee (Nebraska 1989) and the editor and translator of Myths and Traditions of the Arikara Indians (Nebraska 1996).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compilation of traditional folktales titled "Folk Tales Every Child Should Know" was put together by American essayist, editor, and critic Hamilton Wright Mabie. The book, which was published in 1905, is a collection of classic tales from many nations and customs around the globe. Presenting a wide range of folktales that would captivate young readers and enhance their literary and cultural education was Mabie's goal. The collection of folktales offers a rich tapestry of myths, folklore, and fables from many geographical areas. The tales have enthralled audiences for millennia because they frequently contain moral precepts, conventional wisdom, and fantastical aspects. Mabie's "Folk Tales Every Child Should Know" is a literary gold mine that teaches young readers about the diversity of folklore around the globe. In addition to being enjoyable, the stories have cultural relevance since they give readers an insight into the ideals and collective imagination of different historical communities. For people who are interested in traditional storytelling and cultural literacy, the collection is still a useful resource.
