Seven legends of the Dakota, Ojibwe, and Winnebago tribes are presented, each in a separate booklet, and many feature the common character, or trickster, of the tribe's legends. The booklets follow a picture book format with large type, limited number of words per page, and black-and-white illustrations accompanying all text. The Dakota legends are "Tibdo" and "Unktomi and the Ducks." Ojibwe legends are "The Legend of the Owl,""Mikinok and Waboozoons," and "Waynaboozhoo and the Geese." Winnebago legends are "How the Gullies and Ditches Came to Be" and "The Trickster and the Tree." The booklets include background notes about the legends and definitions and pronunciation guides for Indian words. The legends have a related teacher's guide that contains objectives, teaching procedures, concepts and vocabulary, discussion questions, activity sheets, resources, and background information about the legends and trickster characters.
