The collection illustrates the deep connection between the Sioux people and the natural world. Animals often serve as characters in these stories, and their behavior often reflects human qualities, which helps convey morals that are both culturally specific and universally relatable. The story of the Field-Mouse and Buffalo, for instance, highlights themes of humility, the dangers of arrogance, and the importance of respect for others—values that transcend time and culture.
