Indian Life and Indian Lore: Indian Days of Long Ago

Indian Life and Indian Lore: Indian Days of Long Ago by Edward Sheriff Curtis is a collection of stories and cultural insights about Native American life, especially from the Plains and Southwest tribes. Aimed at younger readers, the book combines engaging storytelling with educational content, highlighting traditional customs, spiritual beliefs, hunting practices, and community life. Curtis, drawing from his extensive work documenting Indigenous cultures, seeks to preserve fading traditions through accessible narrative and vivid illustrations.
