Excerpt from Indian Legends
Like other primitive peoples, the Indian race has a rich heritage of legendary lore. Haskell Institute, a Government Indian School, located at Lawrence, Kansas, has enrolled Indian young men and women from 28 different States, embracing all those having Indian inhabitants, from North Carolina and New York on the east to California and Alaska on the west. More than eighty different tribes and bands have been represented, and practically every Indian locality and reservation.
These students, in their childhood days, heard the stories of their parents and grandparents, as they were related about the camp fires or in the homes. They have been encouraged by their teachers here to put these into written form, and this booklet is the result of an effort to select the best and most striking of their products.
