Anthropologists George A. Dorsey and Alfred L. Kroeber joined
forces to record and preserve the rich cultural traditions of the
Arapaho Indians, long split into two bands. Dorsey had done
fieldwork with the Southern Arapaho after they moved from Colorado
to Oklahoma and would soon be known for his study of their Sun
Dance. Kroeber had visited the Northern Arapaho, who were still
living in Wyoming. "Traditions of the Arapaho," first published in
1903, is the result of their collaboration. This collection of
tales bears witness to the religious feeling, imagination, and
humor of the Arapaho. Beginning with creation myths, Dorsey and
Kroeber offer stories about Found-in-Grass, Blood-Clot-Boy,
Badger-Woman, Blue-Feather, White Dog, the Rolling Stone,
Porcupine, and the Woman Who Climbed to the Sky. Entities marvelous
and mundane--water monsters, speckled horses, dancing ducks,
cannibalistic dwarves--populate these vibrant tales, where spirit
permeates everything, and everything has meaning.
