Source text (please read only from this text!): https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/11029This work was done to begin to draw distinction between myth and reality in the Native American hero lore. It comes at a time when not much on the subject was determined, or possibly even considered worthy of further study. This may be the first deep dive into the cultural beliefs of the first Americans. The Native Americans. (Summary by afutterer)

Please utilize the first section of the Google Document for pronunciation of the main names that are associated with the title of the myths. This way we can be sure that name phonetics will be similar across the entire work. All other names and words that appear can be pronounced the best you can manage.
*** I WILL NOT PL this work to check for language pronunciation.
*** I WiLL check that all the names that appear in the titles are read uniformly.
