“Blackfeet Indian Stories” by George Bird Grinnell
Grinnell was one of the most famous and active early conservationists. As well, he was a passionate student of the indigenous tribes, especially in the West. He was an astute and honest chronicler of Indian life and ways.
This book is a collection of Blackfeet stories; some of religious/moral nature, some more of ethnic description and some merely “fun” stories that were told chiefly for entertainment.
It is a fun read and brings a more human look at the tribe with it.
This was a very approachable volume of stories from the Blackfeet Indians. The final 'story' was just facts about the life and traditions of the Blackfeet, but even that was interesting.
I also found the entire book to be almost devoid of the sort of European-biased language that I often find in books of traditional tales, which is fantastic.
The audience of this book is probably adults, or maybe older teens, but it clearly wasn't written for children, though some of the stories could probably be read to some children who like violence and polygamy.
There was one downside to the kindle edition, which is that some of the names must have had special characters that didn't scan correctly, and thus the names were written as "i-s+n?-o-kM-k+" or "Kmt-o-y-s?" which, honestly, are rather unpronounceable.

Simple but well written versions of the stories-- sometimes books like this read awkwardly, like poor translations, and other times they seem like the transcriber put too much of themselves into the stories-- Grinnell seems to have hit a good balance. Although I can't say what a member of one of the Blackfoot nations would think of the book.
An interesting collection of Blackfeet Indian legends of creation, tradition, and fire-side stories told on a rainy night to amuse the children. The stories were collected by the author George Bird Grinnel (1849-1938) who was an American anthropologist, historian, naturalist and writer (wiki). He was an early conservationist (American bison) and student of Native American life. He explored extensively in the American plains and had opportunity to come in contact with the native Indians. Many stories display a belief in animism. The stories show the cultural relation between men and women, tribal hierarchy, Indian hunting technology, living conditions. The last chapter, The Ancient Blackfeet, gives a good account of Indian life.
