AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this source, Jones presents the creation myth of the Sauk and Fox. This account is apparently compiled from fragments which '…are rendered freely in a simple straightforward idiom rather than formally in a literal, bald translation.' (p. 226). Footnotes are located at the end of the source, on pp. 238-239.
