Wigwam Evenings: Sioux Folk Tales Retold


Read by KirksVoice

The collection illustrates the deep connection between the Sioux people and the natural world. Animals often serve as characters in these stories, and their behavior often reflects human qualities, which helps convey morals that are both culturally specific and universally relatable. The story of the Field-Mouse and Buffalo, for instance, highlights themes of humility, the dangers of arrogance, and the importance of respect for others—values that transcend time and culture.
"Wigwam Evenings" provides both a window into Sioux culture and timeless lessons that are relevant to readers of all backgrounds. The storytelling tradition showcased in this book remains a vital part of preserving Native American heritage while fostering a deep appreciation for nature and shared human values.
