The Vengeful Wife and Other Blackfoot Stories by historian Hugh A.
Dempsey presents tales from the Blackfoot tribe of the plains of
northern Montana and southern Alberta. Drawn from Dempsey's fifty
years of interviewing tribal elders and sifting through archives,
the stories are about warfare, hunting, ceremonies, sexuality, the
supernatural, and captivity, and they reflect the Blackfoot
worldview and beliefs. This remarkable compilation of oral history
and accounts from government officials, travelers, and fur traders
preserves stories dating from the late 1700s to the early 1900s.
""The importance of oral history,"" Dempsey writes, ""is reflected
in the fact that the majority of these stories would never have
survived had they not been preserved orally from generation to
generation.""
