- Summary:
-
Designed as supplementary reading material for Indian and non-Indian children in the elementary grades, this reader presents 19 stories and legends of the Northwest tribes. Stories in this sixth level of the six-level series were developed cooperatively by Indian people of Pacific Northwest reservations. Each of the 19 stories has a title page with full-page illustration and includes the tribe and the individuals responsible for the story. The first four stories provide an opportunity to compare and contrast the three Indian culture groups of the Northwest region (coast, plains, and plateau) as well as the pre-contact, reservation, and modern periods of Indian culture. Stories about the modern period of Indian culture are "A Cultural Change" (Blackfeet), "Willie's Tribe" (Kootenai), and "Tsapah Talks of Pheasant" (Muckleshoot). Stories about the reservation period are "Nina Saves Roan" (Shoalwater Bay), "Adventures on an Island" (Shoalwater Bay) and "The Story of Wild Horse Island" (Kootenai). The remaining 13 stories are from the pre-contact period and emphasize core values for Northwest tribes, e.g., harmony with nature and the importance of kinship and family obligations. Titles include "Coyote and Crane" (Klamath), "Scabby Bear" (Assiniboine, Sioux), "Sun's Daughter" (Skokomish), "Indian Giant" (Burns-Paiute), and "One That Got Away" (Salish). (JHZ)
