A Cheyenne Legend For Early Readers

This is based on a Cheyenne legend as recorded by Richard Erdoes & Alfonso Ortiz, 1984. The clothing has been drawn from Museum pieces. From the cover: In this Cheyenne legend, a Native American girl creates beautiful shirts and moccasins for seven brothers she has never met. Before setting out to find them, she foretells that she and her brothers will soon be known and loved by everyone. A very nice addition to your young reader's Native America collection.
