Traditional Narratives of the Arikara Indians, English Translations, Volume 3: Stories of Alfred MorsetteUntil the late eighteenth century the Arikaras were one of the largest and most influential Indian groups on the northern plains. For centuries they have lived along the Missouri River, first in present South Dakota, later in what is now North Dakota. Today they share the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota with the Mandans and Hidatsas. Although their postcontact history and aspects of their culture are well documented, Douglas R.

Until the late eighteenth century the Arikaras were one of the largest and most influential Indian groups on the northern plains. For centuries they have lived along the Missouri River, first in present South Dakota, later in what is now North Dakota. Today they share the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota with the Mandans and Hidatsas. Although their postcontact history and aspects of their culture are well documented, Douglas R. Parks's monumental four-volume work Traditional Narratives of the Arikara Indians represents the first comprehensive attempt to describe and record their language and literary traditions. Volumes 1 and 2 present transcriptions of 156 oral narratives in Arikara and include literal interlinear English translations. Volumes 3 and 4 contain free English translations of those narratives, making available for the first time a broad, representative group of Arikara oral traditions that will be invaluable not only to anthropologists and folklorists but to everyone interested in American Indian life and literature. The narratives cover the entire range of traditional stories found in the historical and literary tradition of the Arikara people, who classify their stories into two categories, true stories and tales. Here are myths of ancient times, legends of power bestowed, historical narratives, and narratives of mysterious incidents that affirm the existence today of supernatural power in the world, along with tales of the trickster Coyote and stories of the risque Stuwi and various other animals. In addition, there are accounts of Arikara ritualism: prayers and descriptions of how personal names are bestowed and how the Death Feast originated.

Feel secure with your cards and money!
Material Type: Carbon Fiber Leather, Color: Black-3926
This is a cool wallet. My previous wallet didn't protect my cards and as a result they would get damaged. This wallet is like bullet proof and fits all of my id and credit cards perfectly. I really like the magnetic fold which is very secure, but the most comforting thing about this design is that my cards cannot be scanned. Very secure. Highly recommend Bulliant wallets!

Great front pocket wallet.
Material Type: Leather, Color: Coffee-4338
This Wallet is great. It took some getting used to having the cards all in one slot, but since they pop up in a stair-step design as long as you keep your cards in the same order you’ll always reach for the right one. Materials are high quality and it feels good in the hand. I really like the look and weight of this wallet as well. I will likely purchase these as gifts for the other men in my life.
