Indian Why Stories: Sparks from War Eagle's Lodge-FireOld man, or Napa, as he was called by the Blackfeet, is an extraordinary character in Indian stories. Both powerful and fallible, he appears in different guises: god or creator, fool, thief, clown. The world he made is marvelous but filled with mistakes. As a result, tensions between the haves and have nots explode with cosmic consequences in Indian Why Stories. Elders of the Blackfeet, Cree, and Chippewa (Ojibwa) people shared these wonderful tales

Old-man, or Napa, as he was called by the Blackfeet, is an extraordinary character in Indian stories. Both powerful and fallible, he appears in different guises: god or creator, fool, thief, clown. The world he made is marvelous but filled with mistakes. As a result, tensions between the haves and have-nots explode with cosmic consequences in Indian Why Stories.

Elders of the Blackfeet, Cree, and Chippewa (Ojibwa) people shared these wonderful tales with Frank B. Linderman in the late nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century. War Eagle (the fictional name of Linderman's friend and Chippewa medicine man Pah-nah-to, or Full-of-dew), tells these stories to attentive youngsters after the first frost in the fall. He speaks of animal people, including a deer and an antelope in a footrace, a dancing fox who convulses a buffalo with laughter, a white beaver and ghost people, a huge snake in love with the moon, a sparrow hawk of conscience, and many others. These sparkling tales reveal a reverence for life, honesty, and the unity of creation.

This expanded edition features thirteen previously unpublished verse stories along with an introduction to those stories by Sarah Waller Hatfield, granddaughter of Linderman.

Easy and quick to assemble, looks great!
My husband loves to collect different fragrances. I could have worse “problems” than him smelling good, I guess! But it has meant bottles galore. I grabbed this to bring some order to the chaos. It arrived in pieces with screws and a little screwdriver (it was so cute!) In all, it took me about ten minutes or less to assemble. It was super easy and the instructions were perfect. The pieces are labeled so there is no doubt you’re doing it right. When putting the spinner on the bottom, there is a hole you can rotate so you can attach the screws one at a time through the hole. It’s very sturdy once put together and holds all the heavy bottles with no issue. It truly does hold a ton! It looks way better than bottles all over the table. The black is very modern and clean looking. I did take photos of a spot where the faux leather was peeling up a bit from the edges, but I was able to use a credit card to smooth it down pretty well. This is a great organizer that look way more expensive than it is. He was super excited when he got home from a late meeting and I had put it together for him. He got right to work loading it up with bottles. And of course, it would be great for makeup or any other things of similar size you would want to organize. A great value to tidy up your space!

This product is not worth the price.
The screws were still very loose even after being tightened, and they couldn't be made to fit tightly. This resulted in the entire product being loose and unsteady. I spent 31 US dollars on this defective item. I'm very regretful. I will return it. The overall workmanship is not perfect. It's too bad!!!

Smooth Rotating Organizer – Looks Great & Holds a Lot
This was a hit in our house. I originally got it for myself, but my wife quickly pointed out that she has about 20 perfumes while I only have a few colognes… so it officially became hers. The assembly was very easy, with clear instructions that made putting it together quick and straightforward. Once assembled, it has a really nice black wood grain finish that looks clean and modern on a dresser or bathroom counter. The 360° swivel works smoothly, which makes it easy to access everything without having to move bottles around. It also holds a good amount, so it’s perfect for anyone with a growing collection.

It is really well made and perfect for travel!
It is just like the picture and it is lovely. Plenty of room and under the tray it is large enough for changes with pendents. It is perfect for a girl and will be perfect for the amount of jewerly you take when traveling. Thank You!

Very nice little box.
This is a great little jewelry box. I don’t have tons of jewelry right now, so this fits everything well, and the leather-look material is very nice. I like the simple design and organization, and it is a nice size to travel with. It looks really pretty sitting on my dresser and goes with the aesthetic of my home well.
