Summary: "The Lost Giant, and Other American Indian Tales Retold" by Violet Moore Higgins is a collection of American Indian folklore, crafted in the early 20th century. This enchanting collection explores themes of adventure, heroism, and the connection between humanity and nature through stories that reflect the rich oral traditions of various Native American tribes. The tales encapsulate the magic and spirit of the characters, ultimately conveying moral lessons that resonate with readers of all ages. The stories within the book follow various protagonists as they navigate challenges and encounters that define their journeys. In "The Lost Giant," we meet Wasewahto, a neglected boy who finds companionship in a giant, only to face heartbreaking choices. Likewise, "The Feathered Bridegroom" tells the tale of Deerfoot, who escapes from her deceptive husband—a Crow disguised as a nobleman—by using her wits to return to her family. "Mandowmin of the Maize" introduces Waso, a boy who, through a series of dreams and a personal struggle, brings corn to his people, ensuring their survival. Lastly, "Awahnee and the Giant" depicts A-wah-nee, a skilled hunter who cleverly overcomes the winter giant to restore warmth and life to the land. Collectively, these narratives not only entertain but also preserve essential cultural values and lessons of generosity, resilience, and the beauty of the natural world.
