Designed as supplementary reading materials for Indian and non-Indian children in the primary grades, this series of 20 booklets presents legends and stories of Northwest tribes. Stories in this third level of the six-level series were developed cooperatively by people of the Blackfeet, Kootenai, Jamestown-Clallam, Assiniboine, Sioux, Shoshone-Bannock, Crow, Skokomish, and Salish tribes and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. Booklets range from 13 to 37 pages in length and follow a picture book format with large type and many illustrations. The illustration styles are diverse, including cartoons, pictographs, and traditional Indian designs as well as realistic drawings. Materials were developed to appeal to interests and values held by many Indian children--horses, wildlife, natural phenomena, fishing, hunting, celebrations. "The Blacktail Dance" tells a true story from the early 1900's about this sacred ceremony of the Blackfeet Indians. "The Wild Buffalo Ride" tells another true story about a woman on a hunt that took place about 1850 in Montana. Titles of other stories include "The Beginning of the Earth,""How Marten Got His Spots,""How the Morning and Evening Stars Came to Be,""Coyote and Trout," and "How the Milky Way Got Into the Sky."
