The timid rabbit who outwits the tyrannical bear, the wonderful
turtle who marries the Indian chief's daughter, the pet crane who
saves a family--these and many other legendary figures appear in
"Myths and Legends of the Sioux." Marie L. McLaughlin, born to a
white father and a mixed-blood Sioux mother, heard these stories
while growing up among the eastern Sioux of Minnesota. When she
recorded them for posterity in 1916 she had long been the wife of
James McLaughlin, whom she served as interpreter during the years
he was head of the Devils Lake and Standing Rock agencies and an
inspector for the Indian Bureau. The thirty-eight pieces in this
collection are rich in humor, animal lore, otherworldly encounters,
and famous legends such as those featuring Unktomi (Spider) and the
Stone Boy.
