Summary "The Journal of American Folk-lore. Vol. VI.—July-September, 1893.—No. XXII." is a scholarly collection of folk tales and myths composed in the late 19th century. It delves into the rich folklore of various Native American tribes, particularly focusing on the Blackfoot tribes and their mythology, as well as stories from the Onondaga and other cultural tales. The journal aims to document and preserve the oral traditions and narratives that encapsulate the beliefs, customs, and values of these Indigenous communities. The opening portion of the journal presents a series of Blackfoot myths, detailing the creation of the world by a deity named Napioa, who encounters various animals during his endeavors to shape the earth. The narratives touch upon themes of creation, community, and the relationship individuals have with nature. Other stories, such as "The Blood-Clot Boy," explore the dynamics of family, jealousy, and conflict resolution through fantastical elements, showcasing characters like the clever young man Kûtoyĭs. The text emphasizes the importance of oral storytelling in preserving cultural heritage, highlighting the challenges faced by the Blackfoot in maintaining their lore amidst external influences.
