Summary: "Indian Story and Song, from North America" by Alice C. Fletcher is a collection of narratives and musical pieces derived from the traditions of Native American tribes, primarily focusing on the Omaha and Pawnee cultures. Written in the late 19th century, this work aims to present an accessible form of indigenous music and storytelling, which until then had mainly been confined to scientific publications.
