| Summary | "Indian Games and Dances with Native Songs" by Alice C. Fletcher is a collection of ethnological studies focused on the rituals, games, and songs of Native American tribes, likely written in the early 20th century. The book illustrates the profound interconnection of culture and nature in the lives of Indigenous peoples, showcasing how their games and dances serve not only as forms of entertainment but also as means of expressing spiritual beliefs and community values. The opening of the book introduces Fletcher's personal journey of immersion into Native American culture, where she reflects on her transformation from feeling like an outsider to recognizing the deep relationship that Indigenous peoples have with their natural environment. She expresses a desire to share this insight with American youth through traditional dances and games that celebrate both the sacred and communal aspects of life, teaching the spirit of connection and respect for nature. The introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of these dances, their meanings, and the accompanying rituals that are fundamental to Indigenous identities.
