Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Blackfeet Oral Traditions, Sacred Place-Legends, and Montana Mountain FolkloreBy James Willard Schultz
Length4h 38m
About this audiobook
Blackfeet Tales of Glacier National Park gathers origin stories, heroic narratives, animal tales, and sacred place-legends associated with the mountains, lakes, and valleys of what is now Glacier National Park. Written in a lucid, story-driven prose that blends oral cadence with early twentieth-century literary romanticism, the book belongs to the era of ethnographic "salvage" writing, yet it is distinguished by its attention to landscape as a living archive of Blackfeet memory, cosmology, and moral instruction. James Willard Schultz, also known by the Blackfeet name Apikuni, lived for many years among the Blackfeet in Montana, married into the community, and became one of the most prolific interpreters of Plains Indian life for English-speaking readers. His long familiarity with Blackfeet language, customs, hunting life, and spiritual traditions informed his retellings, though they also reflect the assumptions and narrative conventions of his time. This volume is recommended to readers interested in Indigenous oral tradition, the cultural history of Glacier National Park, and the literary mediation of Native stories. It should be read both appreciatively and critically: as a compelling collection of place-based tales and as a historical document shaped by cross-cultural encounter.
