content: Stories handwritten in Meskwaki (Fox) syllabary by Alfred Kiyana, Sam Peters, possibly Joe Peters, Shapochiwa, Bill Leaf, and other writers. The first seven stories are by Kiyana. They are "Jealous men;" "Man who fasted long ago;" "The winter story of the man who married his daughter;" "The man who was a war leader among warriors who were great fighters;" "The people of long ago;" "A manitou man;" and "Ka da wi a." Shapochiwa (Mrs. Harry Lincoln) may be the author of "One with an elm tree." The ninth text is untitled and is by various authors, including Sam Peters and possibly Joe Peters. Bill Leaf authored the remaining three stories. They are "The old man and woman and their son and daughter-in-law;" "Ten women;" and an untitled text.
