Book Reviews of Telling Stories the Kiowa Way
Book Review: Informatively examines the art
Summary: 5 Stars
Gus Palmer Jr. is an anthropologist who was raised in a traditional Kiowa family. In Telling Stories The Kiowa Way, Palmer informatively examines the art and culture of storytelling among the Kiowa, throughout history and in the modern day. From the close-knit environment of family and good friends in which tales are shared; to the encouragement of group participation; to the value of teasing and joking; and the legacy of retold tales, Telling Stories The Kiowa Way is a thoughtful, scholarly, and fascinating study which is very highly recommended for students of Native American Studies and non-specialist general readers with an interest in Native American cultures.
