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.

Very cheaply made
Size: X-Large, Color: 02khaki
Not happy at all … this shirt did not arrive as displayed. It’s pictured as two tone giving the impression that it’s a dark brown fabric on top and a different light brown fabric at the bottom… it’s a thin one piece shirt with what appears to be a spray paint top. Very cheap looking

Good quality shirt!
Color: Black(pattern1), Size: X-Large
My husband got this shirt to go along with his new belt buckle he got and I have to admit, I was skeptical on how it would look on him (he’s normally just a t shirt and basketball shorts kind of guy) but I love the look! I’m trying to convince him to wear it more often! The color and fabric quality are great! It’s soft and he says comfortable! The size was true to him! He wore it at work and said it lights weight and breathable! He wouldn’t let me take a picture though…
