Folktales Of Salishan And Sahaptin Tribes

""Folktales of Salishan and Sahaptin Tribes"" is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the Salishan and Sahaptin Native American tribes, as collected and compiled by anthropologists James Alexander Teit, Livingston Farrand, Marian K. Gould, and Herbert Joseph Spinden in 1917. The book contains a total of 57 folktales, each with its own unique characters, themes, and lessons. Many of the stories center around animals and their interactions with humans, while others explore themes of love, betrayal, and redemption. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural traditions and storytelling practices of these indigenous communities, and serves as an important historical document of their oral traditions. The book was edited by Franz Boas, a pioneering anthropologist who was instrumental in documenting and preserving Native American culture and folklore.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
