Blackfeet Indian Stories

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(4,542 Sterne; 48 Bewertungen)

The Blackfeet were hunters, travelling from place to place on foot. They used implements of stone, wood, or bone, wore clothing made of skins, and lived in tents covered by hides. Dogs, their only tame animals, were used as beasts of burden to carry small packs and drag light loads.

The stories here told come down to us from very ancient times. Grandfathers have told them to their grandchildren, and these again to their grandchildren, and so from mouth to mouth, through many generations, they have reached our time. (4 hr 20 min)

Cute stories! A native speaker might be better. Several words were mispronounced.

cute Indian stories about animals etc

(5 Sterne)

this is a collection of "tales" told by indians about how animals interacted with people or taught lessons to them. a cute collection with mostly good readers. i was mainly interested in the last chapter as it explained the teepee design & hunting methods.
