Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Myths and Tales From the White Mountain Apache
The greater number of the remaining narratives were secured from the father of Frank Crockett, the interpreter employed. Several of these are ceremonial and religious in their character and probably would not have been given except for the son's in?uence. Two of these were later secured from San Carlos informants in more extended form but highly corroborative in their general agreement.
The main purpose in recording these narratives was to secure sufficient and varied connected texts in the dialect of the White Mountain Apache. As a collection of mythology and folklore it is probably far from complete. It is assumed, however, to be fairly representative.
