Folklore tales from various tribes
I have added the tribes in parentheses to show the different tribes represented in this book. I enjoyed all chapters of this book but especially the six that I had not learned much about in other books. The six are chapter 1,2,4,6,8,9. I had never heard the Pawnee made human sacrifices with a female captive until reading this book. I had heard of the Ghost Dance and Ghost Shirts but was not aware a Paiute started the movement. I also found it interesting that the Ghost Shirts were claiming protection from bullets around the same time the Boxers of the Boxer Rebellion in China were making similar claims against Western firearms.
