American Indian Myth Poems
The poetic spirit of the American Indian is a thing to be retrieved fragmentarily, partly through the echoes of old songs, partly through the dim rememberings of ancient beliefs. The native expression is seldom articulate after the manner of white men; it is too simply a communion with nature to need formal articulation. But it falls easily into the cadences of unaffected speech, interpreted but not misportrayed. The story of the never-ending strife of the Daughter of the South, Mother of Life, with the Wolf-Chieftain of the North; the naive faith that to bathe the bare feet in the morning dews will bring youthful power; belief in Spirit-Men of the Mirage; old myths of birds or animals who have wished death into the world, — of such fragments as these are the inspirations for what is here given, tradition from the Indian, heritage for ourselves.
The World's Rim
Classic ethnological study of the idea that Native Americans and other cultures in distant parts of the world have created identical ritual patterns to express their separate discoveries of a single insight. "For anyone who wishes a good, readable technical introduction to the spiritual side of the Indian, this is the book."-San Francisco Chronicle. For students and general readers interested in Native American thought. Notes. Index.
