about

This is a complex, epic-length legend about a brother and sister who survive abandonment and dreadful abuse. They succeed with the help of a suiistamiik (magical water buffalo), a dog, and a fear less old woman. Flora’s mother did not like to tell this story because of the mistreatment of the children. This classic story has been told for generations by Flora’s ancestors. Its vener able age is illustrated by the important 1890s collection by George Bird Grinnell, Blackfoot Lodge Tales: The Story of a Prairie People (1892).
