The timid rabbit who outwits the tyrannical bear, the wonderful turtle who marries the Indian chief's daughter, the pet crane who saves a family; these and many other legendary figures appear in Myths and Legends of the Sioux. Marie L. McLaughlin, born to a white father and a mixed-blood Sioux mother, heard these stories while growing up among the eastern Sioux of Minnesota. When she recorded them for posterity in 1916 she had long been the wife of James McLaughlin, whom she served as interpreter during the years he was head of the Devils Lake and Standing Rock agencies and an inspector for the Indian Bureau.
I run this site entirely on my own and format all the ebooks myself. Less than 1% of people who download my books actually donate, but without your help, small sites like mine will disappear. Please give a donation to help me continue offering this service - any amount is appreciated and it only takes a minute. Donations are made through the secure PayPal or Stripe systems.
Help me continue giving free literature to all by either making a donation (one-off or monthly), or by purchasing the entire collection. Without the financial help of people like yourself, this site wouldn't be able to continue running.
