"Mythology of the Blackfoot Indians," originally published in 1908
by the American Museum of Natural History, introduces such figures
as Old Man, Scar-Face, Blood-Clot, and the Seven Brothers. Included
are tales with ritualistic origins emphasizing the prototypical
Beaver-Medicine and the roles played by Elk-Woman and Otter-Woman,
as well as a presentation of Star Myths, which reveal the
astronomical knowledge of the Blackfoot Indians. Narratives about
Raven, Grasshopper, and Whirlwind-Boy account for conditions in
humanity and nature. Many of the stories in the concluding group,
such as "The Lost Children" and "The Ghost-Woman," were tales told
to Blackfoot children. These narratives were collected early in the
twentieth century from the Piegans in Montana and from the North
Piegans, the Bloods, and the Northern Blackfoot in Canada. Most
were translated by D. C. Duvall and revised for "Mythology of the
Blackfoot Indians" by Clark Wissler. Darrell Kipp provides an
introduction to the new Bison Books edition.
