Scope and Contents
Nine Meskwaki (Fox) syallabic texts, eight of which are by Alfred Kiyana and one by Bill Leaf, with English translations by Ida Poweshiek. These were collected by Truman Michelson in Tama, Iowa. The texts by Kiyana are: Red stone pipe; Youths who were friends; The summer hunters; When people killed one that was a manitou; The cowardly man; The man who had an elm tree that grew from his chest; Wolf; and Wisahkeha's little brother slain. The ninth text, When they fought with the Pawnee ("wabanokeha"), is by Bill Leaf. Poweshiek's translations were made much later in April 17, 1928.
