content: Eighteen stories handwritten in Meskwaki (Fox) syllabary by Bill Leaf, Sakihtanohkweha, C.H. Chuck, Alfred Kiyana, and two unidentified writers. The stories were collected by Truman Michelson in Tama, Iowa. Kiyana authored two texts, titled "The fast runner who ran through the air" and "The Indian woman long ago who was pursued by a grizzly bear." Sakihtanohkweha authored "The man (named) Redstone Pipe" and "The man who suddenly became aware while walking [Pitishaha]." Leaf wrote six texts, one of which includes a brief English translation by Truman Michelson. Chuck authored "Pitishaha."
