Project Gutenberg 1995-10-01 Public domain in the USA. 583 McLaughlin, Marie L. 1842 Myths and Legends of the Sioux Produced by Judith Boss, and David Widger "Myths and Legends of the Sioux" by Marie L. McLaughlin is a collection of traditional tales centering on the Sioux culture, likely written in the early 20th century. The book contains a variety of stories that convey the values, beliefs, and experiences of the Sioux people, featuring themes of nature, morality, and the consequences of one's actions, which are key components of their folklore. At the start of this collection, McLaughlin expresses her deep connection to the stories, which were passed down to her from the Sioux elders. The opening portion introduces a series of brief tales, such as "The Forgotten Ear of Corn," which illustrates the importance of carefulness and mindfulness in harvesting. Other stories depict the consequences of carelessness, the virtue of hard work as shown in "The Little Mice," and the enduring bond of love and loss in "The Faithful Lovers." These narratives, infused with moral lessons, serve to entertain while also imparting wisdom about the Sioux worldview, making the opening a compelling invitation into a rich cultural tapestry.
