Old Indian Legends - (Mint Editions (Native Stories, Indigenous Voices)) by Zitkala-Sa (Paperback)

Old Indian Legends by Zitkala-Sa is a captivating collection of traditional stories from the Yankton Dakota writer, faithfully retold with respect for her people's cultural heritage.

In these fourteen legends and stories passed down through Sioux oral tradition, Iktomi, a spider-trickster spirit, befriends ducks with his music and later saves them from wolves.

In another tale, Iktomi prays to Inyan for food and discovers a deer carcass, only to leave it unattended while seeking a blanket.

Through Zitkala-Sa's reimagined retelling of these classic American Indian stories, readers will discover the humor and instructive lessons found in the mythology of the Lakota and other Oceti Sakowin peoples.

With its beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Old Indian Legends is a must-read for modern readers seeking to understand the cultural heritage of Native American literature.
