First published in 1904, George A. Dorsey's Mythology of the Wichita is a rich collection of American Indian folklore. WIth the help of a Wichita interpreter, Dorsey gathered sixty tales from the Wichitas living in Oklahoma and arranged them according to the first period, the creation; the second period, transformation; and the third period, the present. For the Wichitas, tale-telling was of great instructional value for the young. The tales taught that braverly and greatness depended upon individual effort, no matter how low or mean might have been the individual's origin, and at the same time, that there might descend upon the child the same longevity and good fortune possessed by the hero of the tale.

The mythology of the Wichita
I got this in a search for insight into how Oklahoma's native tribes interacted with the unique environment, but the major focus is on the culture's views on manhood and warfare. Also a few good Coyote stories, and a touching tale of a man's bond with his dog. Hard to offer critique on what is essentially a snapshot of the speaking/writing style of the turn of the century, but it was less engaging than similar collections I have read from the same era.
