Blackfeet Tales from Apikuni's World pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
At the turn of the twentieth century, James Willard Schultz wrote a series of tales centering on the adventures of a Blackfeet Indian boy and his white friend in the days just prior to the end of the buffalo era on the western plains. All the tales appeared between 1910 and 1927 in the pages of the popular family weekly The Youth's Companion. The stories featured the sort of spirited adventure popular at the time, but Schultz was more conscientious than most other writers of his day in his depiction of American Indian life.David C. Andrews has gathered these tales, the last of Schultz's to be published in book form, and arranged them for continuity and narrative development. Schultz first encountered the Blackfeet in Montana Territory in 1877 when he was seventeen, and he lived among them off and on for the next seventy years until his death. These tales are based on his experiences with the Blackfeet, who gave him the name Apikuni. Schultz's Indian alter ego, Apikuni, plays a role in many of the stories, usually under the name Spotted Robe. Though he was neither a historian nor an ethnologist, Schultz filled his stories with Indian history and with detailed descriptions of the daily life and culture of the Blackfeet.
