Abstract
A DISCRIMINATING READER, hoping to find collections of American Indian narratives which are at one and the same time thoroughly authentic and respectable as literature, is likely to be disappointed. When he explores the narratives published before the field methods of Franz Boas were widely employed, he may decide that their style seems more Victorian than Indian. If he then turns to modern collections but still avoids publications intended only for the use of scholars, he may find his prospective reading described, as in the case of Jaime de Angulo's Indian Tales, as suitable fare for both children and adults.' Such a volume will seem about as promising to him as a movie rated G for general audiences.
