Abstract
"The songs of Indians and Eskimos are often tuned to the stroke of a paddle, to the flight of birds, to the rhythm of a running horse, or the thump of the corn-grinding stone. They have a remarkable vitality, voicing with passion an endless search for the magic in life. Here is a richly varied selection of these songs, gathered by a man whose major interest since childhood has been primitive peoples. Grouped regionally and illustrated with striking drawings of artifacts, art objects and weapons, they offer moving reflections of America's past."--Front flap.
