During territorial days young Dale rode, hunted, and visited with the Kiowas, Comanches, and Wichitas. Later he taught many Cherokees, Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws, Sac and Fox, and Delawares at the state university. Near the beginning of his long and distinguished career as a historian, he gathered and recorded these stories. \u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1920, \u003ci\u003eTales of the Tepee\u003c\/i\u003e takes the reader to the lodge bonfires of the Cherokees, Wichitas, and Pawnees, where children stayed awake to hear about giant cannibals, magical transformations, mortal unions with celestial bodies, and journeys to the Spirit Land. Dale preserved these popular tales of danger and revenge, renewal and romance, and family life. They are populated with an ogress named Spearfinger, the monster Flint, the tragic Wynema, and the cyclic heroes Wild Boy, Stone Man, and Found-in-the-Grass. Here are animal people like the courageous Rabbit and the great bird Tlan-u-wa. And here are lovely explanations for matters mundane and cosmic: how strawberries came to be, and how the moon got its spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward Everett Dale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803266103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803266100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 5.21w x 0.29d","brand":"Edward Everett Dale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059751809279,"sku":"9780803266100","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c02bec89-b02f-4789-ace5-364e8bc0d126.jpg?v=1685060119","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-of-the-tepee-edward-everett-dale-9780803266100","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
