This book deals with the wars of the Cheyennes. A fighting and fearless people, the tribe was almost constantly at war with its neighbors. This account follows the local tribal wars and the eventual Indian wars between the westward moving settlers. A reprint of the 1916 edition an appendix has been added from the Smithsonian Institutions Handbook of North American Indians Bulletin 30.

Here are the great stories of the Blackfeet, including the entertaining Na'Pi (Old Man) stories of mischief and trickery; the hero Kut-o-yis', who got rid of the bad things; the secret societies and how the earth was created. Recorded in person by the famous conservationist and ethnologist, George Bird Grinnell, who became a tribal member in 1885.

Here are the stories of the Blackfoot tribe, a proud and fiercely independent people. These stories distill the wisdom of an ancient and wise race. "The most shameful chapter of American history is that in which is recorded the account of our dealings with the Indians. The story of our government's intercourse with this race is an unbroken narrative of injustice, fraud, and robbery. Our people have disregarded honesty and truth whenever they have come in contact with the Indian."
