Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Here are the stories of the Blackfoot tribe, a proud and fiercely
independent people. These stories distill the wisdom of an ancient
and wise race. "The most shameful chapter of American history is
that in which is recorded the account of our dealings with the
Indians. The story of our government's intercourse with this race
is an unbroken narrative of injustice, fraud, and robbery. Our
people have disregarded honesty and truth whenever they have come
in contact with the Indian."
Here are the great stories of the Blackfeet, including the
entertaining Na'Pi (Old Man) stories of mischief and trickery; the
hero Kut-o-yis', who got rid of the bad things; the secret
societies and how the earth was created. Recorded in person by the
famous conservationist and ethnologist, George Bird Grinnell, who
became a tribal member in 1885.
