Books by George A. Dorsey

The Caddoan tribes, found along the Red River and its tributaries, practiced agriculture long before they hunted buffalo. The tales collected for this book, first published in 1905, reflect the women's horticultural practices, village life distinguished by conical grass lodges, family and social relationships, connection to nature, and ceremonies.

Anthropologists George A. Dorsey and Alfred L. Kroeber joined forces to record and preserve the rich cultural traditions of the Arapaho Indians, long split into two bands. Traditions of the Arapaho, first published in 1903, is the result of their collaboration.

Originally published in 1906, The Pawnee Mythology preserves 148 tales of the Pawnee Indians, who farmed and hunted and lived in earth-covered lodges along the Platte River in Nebraska. These stories were generally told during intermissions of sacred ceremonies. Many were accompanied by music.
