Description
Dakota Texts presents a rich array of Sioux mythology and folklore in its original language and in translation. Originally published by the American Ethnological Society in 1932, this work is a landmark contribution to the study of the Sioux tribes. Ella Deloria, one of the first Native students of linguistics and ethnography in the United States, drew on her own heritage to create this collection. The result is a unique and valuable resource for understanding the cultural traditions of the Sioux people. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the mythology and folklore of the Sioux nation, presented in its original language alongside translation.
