Playlist: Indian Old-Man Stories
Compiled By: Roy Trumbull
Old-Man or Napa was the creator of the world and all that is in it and like the world he was far from perfect. While Old-Man did great things he was also full of mischief.
The setting for most of these stories is the lodge of War-Eagle. In the evening he tells these stories to the children of the tribe.
The Indian Old Man stories were collected by Frank Bird Linderman (1869 - 1938).
