Blackfoot Lodge Tales is a collection of Native American folktales and legends, compiled and retold by George Bird Grinnell. The book features stories from the Blackfoot tribe, a Native American people who historically lived in the Great Plains region of North America. The tales cover a wide range of topics, including creation myths, animal fables, and stories of heroic deeds and supernatural beings. Through these tales, readers can gain insight into the Blackfoot culture and worldview, as well as the importance of storytelling in Native American traditions. Grinnell, a prominent historian and ethnographer of Native American cultures, provides helpful notes and commentary throughout the book to provide context and background information. Blackfoot Lodge Tales is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in Native American folklore and history.As they were following up the river, they saw at a distance three old bulls lying down close to a cut bank. Heavy Collar left his party, and went out to kill one of these bulls, and when he had come close to them, he shot one and killed it right there. He cut it up, and, as he was hungry, he went down into a ravine below him, to roast a piece of meat; for he had left his party a long way behind, and night was now coming on. As he was roasting the meat, he thought,--for he was very tired,--''It is a pity I did not bring one of my young men with me. He could go up on that hill and get some hair from that bull’s head, and I could wipe out my gun.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
