reviewed Old Indian Legends on May 15, 2011 Old Indian Legends
While i was in high school, i stumbled upon a 1901 edition of this book at an antique store. it wasn't until college that i learned that both Zitkala-Å a and the artist Angel De Cora were womyn and pathbreakers. This was the first published collection of First Nations folktales collected by a native. Angel was among the first native artists using "Western" art styles to portray native themes.
the stories themselves are great. Iktomi, a "spider fairy" is both impossible and easy to love. he is rude, self-centered and cares only for himself. so, of course, his shenanigans usually end with a loss for him. several of the tales are hilarious, notably "Iktomi and the Fawn" and "The Warlike Seven". several are heartwrenching. all are fun to re-tell.
