Abstract
Lowie has divided this document into two major parts. Part 1 describes the ethnology of the Assiniboine from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries, with a primary emphasis on history, material culture, amusements, art, warfare, social organization and custom, and the religious life. Part 2 is a collection of eighty mythological stories dealing with the trickster cycle as well as a wide variety of other miscellaneous tales. This section forms the major portion of this book (pp. 99-234). The ethnographic focus of this work is on the Assiniboine of Morley in Alberta, Canada and Fort Belknap, Montana in the United States, the two areas studied extensively by the author during his period of field work.
