Ella Elizabeth Clark Knihy
Ella Elizabeth Clark sa venovala skúmaniu a uchovávaniu mýtov a legiend severoamerických indiánov, ktoré ohrozoval pokrok. Jej dielo sa ponorilo do bohatej tapisérie domorodých príbehov a snažilo sa ich zachytiť pred ich definitívnym zánikom. Okrem tejto primárnej oblasti záujmu preskúmala Clark aj flóru pacifického severozápadu a súvisiace témy ochrany prírody. Prostredníctvom svojej literárnej tvorby sa snažila nielen dokumentovať tieto príbehy, ale aj prejaviť hlboký záujem o blaho a budúcnosť amerických indiánov.

The role of storyteller was always a very special one among Native Americans, combining the functions of philosopher, historian, and entertainer. Winter was the time for the stories around the fire, when the hunt was over and people longed to be “lifted to the fairyland of pure imagination,” as an early twentieth-century Native American has said. This book contains the magic created around the Indian fireside, for readers of all ages. It includes myths of creation, culture myths, nature myths, and beast fables, as well as the legends, personal narratives and historical traditions of thirty North American Indian tribes.
