Overview

Ella Deloria (1889-1971), one of the first Native students of linguistics and ethnography in the United States, grew up on the Standing Rock Reservation on the northern Great Plains and was trained by Franz Boas at Columbia University. Dakota Texts presents a rich array of Sioux mythology and folklore in its original language and in translation. Originally published in 1932 by the American Ethnological Society, this work is a landmark contribution to the study of the Sioux tribes.

Reviews
"Finally a volume of Dakota texts, accurately recorded, is now available. And in so far as Miss Deloria's mother tongue is the Oglala dialect, we may be confident that stylistically and syntactically these texts are superior to those previously published."–Language
