Trade Review
“Finally a volume of Dakota texts, accurately recorded, is now available. And in so far as Miss Deloria’s mother tongue is the Oglala dialect, we may be confident that stylistically and syntactically these texts are superior to those previously published.”—Language
“Deloria’s excellent collection of tales from the Teton Dakota with text, grammatical analysis, and English translation, together with notes upon customs and idioms of speech, supplies a definitive volume by a trained and competent hand upon this important and much neglected division of the Siouan stock.”—American Anthropologist
