At their heart is Iktomi, the spider trickster: clever, vain, and always hungry. He sees a chance to get what he wants and sets his schemes in motion. But animals have plans of their own, and confidence offers no protection from being fooled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe collection includes Iktomi’s encounters with the Ducks and the Muskrat, alongside stories of human characters and other beings. Animals speak, quarrel, and boast; some tales bring laughter, while others take a more serious turn. Zitkala-Sa’s plain, direct words keep the action close, with a firm sense of right and wrong and careful attention to land, sky, and creatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA trickster worth watching\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Iktomi’s eager schemes and discover how easily cleverness can trip over greed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnimals with their own wits\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet ducks, muskrats, rabbits, and bears who speak, argue, boast, and make plans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStories rooted in listening\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enter a Dakota storytelling tradition in which elders share tales aloud with younger listeners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHumour with a serious edge\u003c\/strong\u003e – Find laughter beside lessons about right and wrong, without leaving the story behind.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne tale at a time\u003c\/strong\u003e – Enjoy short, self-contained stories whose clear images keep the natural world close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love folktales, trickster stories, and oral storytelling, or want to hear a Native American voice from the early twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and meet Iktomi, hungry for his next chance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534683308380,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/09172_en_ebook-front_c14.jpg?v=1792175083","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/tr\/products\/old-indian-legends","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
