Excerpt from Oneóta, or the Red Race of America: Their History, Traditions, Customs, Poetry, Picture-Writing, &C. In Extracts From Notes, Journals, and Other Unpublished Writings
Thus, as by the minstrels, bards and troubadours of former days, and as by the Turkish story - tellers at the present time, the Indians hand down their traditions of different kinds from generation to generation. The two succeeding tales are connected with their religious systems, and were evi dently forged for the purpose of teaching the duty of subserviency to the priests. They bear striking resemblances to certain mythological tales of other nations, ancient and modern, which may occur to some of our rea ders, but which we cannot at present point out. - Editor.
