Indian foods, dances, and songs are also included." Much of the material was narrated to Project members when the Indians were assembled for pow~wows, or at church meetings. There were separate meetings between the old and young men as well.

The entire number of legends are authentic and accurate. The Rosebud Sioux Tribal Council "go on record endorsing the said writings to the Federal Writers' Project of South Dakota."
