An amusing collection of Dakota-Sioux fables, often featuring the vain and mischievous imp, Iktomi. Originally published 1901.

[Children - fables] Fables such as these were told to Dakota-Sioux children for entertainment; but often, also, to teach through negative example, the importance of honor, modesty, manners, and other aspects of a noble Indian lifestyle. Sample_Soundbite
