The Vengeful Wife and Other Blackfoot Stories
Hugh Aylmer Dempsey · 2006
על הספר
"The Vengeful Wife and Other Blackfoot Stories by historian Hugh Dempsey presents tales of the Blackfoot tribe on the plains of northern Montana and southern Alberta. The result of fifty years of interviewing tribal elders and sifting through archives, these stories are about warfare, hunting, ceremonies, sexuality, the supernatural, and captivity and reflect Indian viewpoints and beliefs. Previously unpublished stories about great leaders such as Seen From Afar, Bull Head, and White Calf chronicle the Blackfoot reservation years, brushes with the law, and the challenges of adapting to a new way of life." "Preserved in this compilation of oral history and accounts from government officials, travelers, and fur traders are stories dating from the late 1700s to the early 1900s."--BOOK JACKET.
