Legends of the Kaw is a book written by Carrie De Voe that delves into the rich history and folklore of the Kansas River, also known as the Kaw. The book is a collection of stories and legends that have been passed down through generations of Native American tribes and settlers who have inhabited the area. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the creation myths of the Kaw, the legends of the Kaw's spirit guardians, and the stories of the river's role in the lives of the people who have lived along its banks. Through her writing, De Voe brings to life the characters and events that have shaped the history of the Kaw River. She also provides insights into the cultural and spiritual significance of the river to the Native American tribes who have called the area home for centuries. Overall, Legends of the Kaw is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in the history and folklore of the American Midwest. It offers a unique perspective on the region's past and the role that the Kaw River has played in shaping its culture and traditions.The Ski-di band offered human sacrifices to the morning star. A young captive, taken in war, was selected and fattened, being treated kindly during the days of preparation. He was permitted to know nothing of the fate in store, until the four days' feast and dance. Old men at the ends of the village called upon each male person to prepare bow and arrow and be ready for the sacrifice. When the fatal day arrived, every woman had a lance or stick, and every man held a pipe in one hand and bow and arrow in the other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
