Red Hunters And the Animal People is a collection of charming Native American stories about animals that were written by Indian accounts largely, perhaps, for a certain quality differentiating them from others of their class. Many current stories of bird and beast show a wider knowledge of animals than do these under consideration. In this collection, however, there is expressed a feeling of camaraderie between the author and the subjects of the tales, a kinship between man and the animal world, which is not expressed elsewhere. Contents: The great cat's nursery -- On Wolf Mountain -- The dance of the little people -- Wechah the provider -- The mustering of the herds -- The sky warrior -- A founder of ten towns -- The gray chieftain -- Hootay of the Little Rosebud -- The river people -- The challenge -- Wild animals from the Indian stand-point -- Glossary of Indian words and phrases.
