Myths and Legends of the Sioux

by Marie L. McLaughlin from 1916 (first publication; oral tradition ancient)

About

McLaughlin's collection of Sioux traditional stories — gathered over thirty years on the Standing Rock Reservation — uses the 'Why stories' format as an entry into the natural world mythology of Plains tribes. The stories are told simply and directly; individual pieces (15-40 minutes) work well as group readings.
