Fast Moccasin: A Story of Arapaho Kinship.
Woodenlegs, Martha
The story of Fast Moccasin, a 14-year-old Arapaho youth anxiously awaiting the annual Arapaho Pow-wow, is used to portray the kinship relationships of the Arapaho. Following the story is a 30-item quiz concerning relationships or relationship equivalents (blood relations, extended families, adopted families), naming procedures, and courtesies extended to family members. Additional exercises include: a 20-word dictionary exercise; a 25-word vocabulary exercise; a cross-word puzzle; a family tree form for an Arapaho Kinship System and exercise sheet; a glossary; and a list of kinship terms/definitions.
