Impelled by this purpose I have arranged these dances and games with native songs in order that our young people may recognize, enjoy and share in the spirit of the olden life upon this continent. My obligations are due to Mr.Francis La Flesche of the U.S.Bureau of American Ethnology and to Mr.Edwin S.Tracy, Musical Director of the Morris High School of New York City, for assistance in the preparation of this book.
