Summary "Treasury of American Indian Tales" by Theodore Whitson Ressler is a collection of short stories crafted for pre-teen readers, written in the mid-20th century. This anthology features tales from various Native American tribes, including the Iroquois, Apache, and Pueblo, aiming to impart moral lessons and cultural insights through adventurous narratives and the depiction of traditional values such as honesty, bravery, and respect for nature. The opening of the book introduces the context of the stories, emphasizing their appeal to both children and adults by highlighting authentic Indian lore and traditions. The initial tale focuses on Little Rabbit, a young Pueblo brave, who learns a valuable lesson about courage and the consequences of disobedience after a dangerous fall while playing a risky game. As Little Rabbit navigates his feelings of shame and regret, he discovers that true bravery lies in perseverance and resilience, setting the tone for the ethical themes prevalent in the tales to follow.
