From the totem-pole makers of the Northwest to the hunters of the
eastern woodlands, from the horse nations of the plains to the
desert dwellers of the Southwest and the Mayas and Aztecs of
ancient Mexico--from some forty tribal groups--A. Grove Day has
collected examples of traditional American Indian verse. "This is a
book to be read for pleasure," he writes; its purpose is "to show
the variety and excellence of many kinds of authentic Indian
poetry." Set in their cultural context, the selections also
illustrate the major role, practical as well as aesthetic, that
poetry played in the lives of Native American peoples. The
translations are those of professional students of Indian languages
who were also endowed with poetic powers of their own: people such
as Franz Boas, Natalie Curtis, Frances Densmore, Washington
Matthews, Herbert J. Spinden.
