Old Indian Legends

Early in the twentieth century, a Sioux woman named Zitkala-Sa (1876-1938) published these fourteen legends that she had learned during her childhood on the Yankton Reservation. Her writing talent, developed during her education back east, was put to good use in recording from oral tradition. Such tales as Iktomi the trickster, Eya the glutton, and the Dragon Fly. For young readers.
