Reading the fairy tales and stories of this book assures one of how worthy of attention are the indigenous inhabitants of North America.

The simplicity of their expression conveys the elegance and modesty of their life, thoughts, and feelings.

Although the primitivism of their culture is evident, the purity, grace, and above all, the sacrifice for the common good, truly impress.

Moreover, the strange atmosphere, the exoticism created by the metaphysical view of the world, the collective way in which incredible journeys into the beyond are undertaken, and the encounters with supernatural forces, intertwining the real with the fantastical, the powerful and the improbable, make reading their beautiful myths particularly enjoyable.
