and streams, were coveted lands and the cause of many Indian
wars. Here game was abundant, and maple sugar, berries, and nuts
could be obtained in season.

After years of conflict for the rice lands, peace was made
between the Ojibways of the Great Lakes and the Sioux, or
Dakotahs, farther west. Trade with the whites had begun, but
there were many villages which the white men had never entered,
and where the primitive customs were still unchanged.

As Hiawatha was not the only Indian who married a Dakotah, it
follows that there were homes where the family life was
influenced by the customs of both tribes.

The author has endeavored to describe child life in the Wild-Rice
region west of the Great Lakes at this period, and to retell some
of the most interesting stories enjoyed by Indian children.

The aim of the book is to gratify the American child's natural
interest in primitive life by stories of our own land and to
increase his respect for all that is original and worthy in the
lives of the First Americans.
