American Indian Fairy Tales

"American Indian Fairy Tales" is a collection of stories passed down through generations by Native Americans living in the Lake Superior region. These stories are more than just entertainment for children - they contain the collective wisdom of the tribes and their cultural identity. Ethnologist Henry R Schoolcraft learned the language of these people in the 1830s and collected and preserved their stories. This was done before the tribes disappeared under the westward rush of American civilization. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in Native American culture and history."
