Produktbeschreibung
Old Indian Days is a collection of stories and legends about the lives of Native Americans before the arrival of Europeans, written by Charles Eastman, a Dakota Sioux who was educated in the ways of the white man. The book includes stories about traditional hunting and fishing practices, the importance of the buffalo to the Plains Indians, and the spiritual beliefs of various tribes. The stories also explore the relationships between Native American tribes and the conflicts that arose between them. Eastman's writing is lyrical and evocative, transporting the reader to a time and place that is both familiar and alien. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into a world that has largely disappeared, and serves as a powerful reminder of the richness and complexity of Native American culture.The chief called his counselors together and set before them the dream of the priest, whose prophecy, he said, was already being fulfilled in part by the westward movement of the buffalo. It was agreed that they should lay up all the dried meat they could obtain; but even for this they were too late. The storms were al- ready at hand, and that winter was more severe than any that the old men could recall in their traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
