This work seeks to preserve Indigenous folklore, as Alger transcribes various legends and myths that highlight the cultural heritage and belief systems of these tribes. Through these narratives, the collection offers insights into the values, fears, and experiences of Native American communities through the lens of their storytelling tradition. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to the origins of these tales and the experience of the author in gathering these stories. Alger recounts her efforts to preserve the oral traditions of the Indian elders, emphasizing the importance of storytelling as a means of cultural survival. The first stories presented include the creation myth featuring Glūs-kābé, the Indian god, alongside tales of Grandfather Thunder and the Giant Witch, introducing readers to key figures within the folklore. These stories not only entertain but also convey moral lessons and cultural values inherent to the Indigenous peoples of the region, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their myths throughout the rest of the collection.
