Omaha Tribal Myths and Trickster Tales

An exploration of part of the rich cultural history of the Omaha Indians, this collection offers 70+ tribal stories & myths collected from a wide array of sources: first-person accounts, oral histories, & 19th-20th century ethnological work. Most of the stories feature "Trickster in his many guises--Rabbit, Ictinike, Coyote--a strange mixture of hero & villain, helper & rogue." In 285 pages including Notes & Bibliography & annotations by the author. A FIRST EDITION, first printing, from 1981, this hardcover 8vo (6.25" x 9.25") has bright yellow-orange cloth-covered boards lettered in shiny red to spine. Condition is Fine: just a tad less crisp than brand new! Completely clean, binding straight & strong, pages white & unmarked. The unclipped DJ is Near Fine: colorful & bright but with a tad of chipping & creasing to bottom edge of front cover; nicely protected in new clear mylar cover free! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends, & holidays ship very next business day.
