Indian Talk

The following poems were written by White Kagie, the famous lndiun rider: The Prairie Dog Urn prairie dog 'neath clear blue skies Sits by him hole, never bat3 him eyes ! Him little tail all time goes flip, Him keep on barking 'yip, yip, yip.' Him much fat 'cause him eat much grass. Him jump in hole when folks go past.

nearly like the story Princess Watahwaso told as we remember it: How the First Canoe Came to be Built

Long, long ago people could change themselves into animals or I birds and back again to people any 1 time they wished. One time, some

of them, with their teacher, Gloskabah, or Black Duck, were birds and were sitting on the shore looking out over the water. They had eaten everything on land, and oh, how they wanted to go out on the water and get some fine water spiders and water plants to eat. So they held a council to . see what they could do. "Why not have a canoe?" said Blue Heron. "Yes, yes!" they all agreed, "but who will build It?" "Let Loon build it," suggested some. "No, that will never do.'i said Black Duck. "His legs are too far apart. He will not know how to make a canoe." - j

"Let Owl build It," said Crane. "His eyes are too big," said Red Duck, "and he can't see in the daytime, either." At this all the the birds laughed and laughed.

"Sounds like Red Head Duck,'

should build the canoe

So," Red Flying Squirrel came and shook up all the pictures in his leather pouch and each one drew one. The last to draw was Partridge and he was the one to build the canoe. Partridge started to build canoes first for the ducks. He built them round and flat, and when the ducks got in them they paddled around in them and were so happy that the other birds could scarcely wait until they had canoes, too. Next he built one for Crane, and he made it long and narrow. Crane was very pleased and stepped into it, intending to paddle around as the ducks were, but instead it tipped over and Crane went into the water. Crane was angry and said ho would much rather wade any way, and so, to this day, he wades along the shore, but. never goes into the, water,

Finally, Partridge had made all the canoes except one for himself. This, he decided would be the loveliest of all, so he built it very carefully, making it long and narrow. "This canoe will beat them all," thought Partridge proudly, to himself. When it was finished. Partridge stepped in. What a fine ride he

was going to take tout, as soon as
