Trade Review
“A primary source of research and serious study. . . . Ethnology at its best.”—American Indian Culture and Research Journal
“One of the major publications of American Indian myth.”—Reviews in Anthropology
“[Elaine Jahner] is sensitive to the analysis of texts, sensitive to meanings hidden between the cracks of texts and correspondences, and sensitive and generous to the scholars—Sioux and non-Indian alike—who preceded her in collecting and analyzing the myths and cultural detail of the Teton Dakota Sioux.”—Pacific Historical Review
“An immensely interesting and provocative addition to the literature of the Plains Indians.”—North Dakota History
