About this book
Stories told in Seneca homes on the Cattaraugus reservation, such as why the bear lost its tail and why the chipmunk has a striped back, make up this collection by Arthur C. Parker, an archaeologist at the New York State Museum. Parker heard them as a child, gathered more in 1903 and the winter after from Seneca storytellers, and later wrote out the versions here with Edward Cornplanter, whose son Jesse made drawings for it. The foreword also mentions tales of false faces, whirlwinds and the great bear. It is volume twenty-seven of the Buffalo Historical Society's publications, 1923.
