The Man Who Married His Daughter: Eleven Meskwaki Winter Stories and
Tales of Olden Times

This book has editions and translations of eleven texts written in the
Algonquian language Meskwaki by Alfred Kiyana over a century ago. The
manuscripts of these are part of the large collection of Meskwaki
texts that are in the National Anthropological Archives of the
Smithsonian Institution. The first ten of the texts have what are
called winter stories. They are set in ancient times when human beings
and their world are not yet like they are today. There are powerful
spirits (manitous), giants and monsters, talking birds and animals,
and magical transformations. Even the ostensible human beings may have
supernatural powers. The final text brings together three brief
thematically linked stories about people who lived in the world as we
know it today.

As indicated by the choice of the title selection, the stories in this
book have sexual themes and some strong sexual content. They have been
brought together not only because the treatment of these topics might
be of interest, but also, given their often inexplicit titles, as a
way to make clear the presence of subject matter that some may wish to
avoid. Meskwaki is the heritage language of the Meskwaki Nation (the
Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa).
