This title is printed to order. This book may have been self-published. If so, we cannot guarantee the quality of the content. In the main most books will have gone through the editing process however some may not. We therefore suggest that you be aware of this before ordering this book. If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.

This book has editions and translations of eleven texts written in the Algonquian

language Meskwaki by Alfred Kiyana over a century ago. The manuscripts of these are part of

the large collection of Meskwaki texts that are in the National Anthropological Archives of the

Smithsonian Institution.

The first ten of the texts have what are called winter stories. They are set in ancient times

when human beings and their world are not yet like they are today. There are powerful spirits

(manitous), giants and monsters, talking birds and animals, and magical transformations. Even

the ostensible human beings may have supernatural powers. The final text brings together three

brief thematically linked stories about people who lived in the world as we know it today.

As indicated by the choice of the title selection, the stories in this book have sexual

themes and some strong sexual content. They have been brought together not only because the

treatment of these topics might be of interest, but also, given their often inexplicit titles, as a way

to make clear the presence of subject matter that some may wish to avoid.

Meskwaki is the heritage language of the Meskwaki Nation (the Sac and Fox Tribe of the

Mississippi in Iowa).
