Plains Indian Mythology by Marriott Rachlin (1977 Mass Market Paperback) This collection is divided into four major parts. First are the great myths - the stories of Creation, of how the earth and man were made. Then are the "little stories" - some that teach manners, proper behavior and ethics, others that explain everyday phenomena. The third group dates from the arrival of the Spaniards and the classic horseback days of the early 18 19th centuries. Finally there are stories of today - personal folklore, modern songs and the tale of a long-lost sacred hymn given back to a Vietnam veteran in a dream.
