Note 1903 — V.

In studying the mythology of these tribes we must depend mainly on confined monographs. Mrs. E. A. Smith treats the myths of the Iroquois in the Second Annual Rept. Bureau of Ethnology. Charles Godfrey Leland has covered The Algonquin legends of New England; or, myths and folk-lore of the Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot tribes (Boston, 1884). Brinton has a book on The Lenâpé and their legends (Philad., 1885); and one may refer to the Life and Journals of David Brainard. S. D. Peet has a paper on “The religious beliefs and traditions of the aborigines of North America” in the Journal of the Victoria Institute (London, 1888, vol. xxi. 229); one on “Animal worship and Sun worship in the east and west compared” in the American Antiquarian, Mar., 1888; and a paper on the religion of the moundbuilders in Ibid. vi. 393. The Dahcotah, or life and legends of the Sioux around Fort Snelling (N. Y., 1849) of Mrs. Mary Eastman has been a serviceable book. S. R. Riggs covers the mythology of the Dakotas in the Amer. Antiquarian (v. 147), and in this periodical will be found various studies concerning other tribes.
