Summary "Wigwam Evenings: Sioux Folk Tales Retold" by Charles A. Eastman and Elaine Goodale Eastman is a collection of folk tales written in the early 20th century. This anthology seeks to preserve and adapt Sioux stories for contemporary children, blending traditional narratives with morals that resonate across cultures. The tales reflect the values and beliefs of the Sioux, showcasing the connection between humans and nature through various adventures and lessons involving animals. The beginning of the book sets a picturesque scene in a Sioux winter camp, where children gather around Smoky Day, the village storyteller, eager to hear ancient tales. The initial story features a battle of wits and pride between a Field-Mouse and a Buffalo, ultimately teaching a moral lesson about pride and the consequences of underestimating others. Smoky Day frames these stories within the context of genuine respect for the environment and the teachings of their culture, creating a warm, engaging atmosphere for young listeners. Through these narratives, readers are invited to explore the enchanting world of Sioux mythology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
