Lakota Myth

By James Walker, Edited by Elaine Jahner.  The papers of James Walker, Physician is the Pine Ridge Sioux from 1896 to 1914 are noted for the information they have yielded about Lakota life and culture.  This volume of previously unpublished material presents his work with Lakota myth and legend.  Three categories are represented: Tales that are classic Lakota oral tradition, narratives that were known only by a few Ogala holy men, and a cycle where he attempts to systemize all he has learned about Lakota myth.
