PREFACE.
-f4-
F late years a great deal of interest has
^5 been taken in the folklore of uncivilized
tribes by those who have made it their
business to study mankind. It has been
found that a knowledge of the tradition-
ary tales of a people is a key to their ideas
and a standard of their powers of thought.
These stories display their imaginative facul-
ties the)' are guides to the nature of the
;
rehVious belief, of the form of government, of
the marriage customs, in snort, of much that
relates to bc^h the inner and the outer life of
those by whom they are told.
These tales also show the relationship be
tween tribes and people of different countries
