by Jerome Fourstar and Richard Blue Talk

As part of the Indian Reading Series, a collection of authentic material cooperatively developed by Indian people, How the Morning and Evening Stars Came to Be offers three explanatory and cautionary tales from Montana's Assinboine people. Recorded by Assiniboine storytellers and illustrated by Assiniboine artists from the Fort Peck and Fort Belknap Indian Reservations, these traditional tales have been handed down for generations and were designed to teach youngsters the tribe's history and culture. These lively and engaging stories will appeal to anyone who is interested in exploring the world of the Assiniboines. Co-published with Fort Peck Tribal Library.
