Traditional Narratives of the Arikara Indians, English Translations, Volume 3: Stories of Alfred MorsetteUntil the late eighteenth century the Arikaras were one of the largest and most influential Indian groups on the northern plains. For centuries they have lived along the Missouri River, first in present South Dakota, later in what is now North Dakota. Today they share the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota with the Mandans and Hidatsas. Although their postcontact history and aspects of their culture are well documented, Douglas R.

Until the late eighteenth century the Arikaras were one of the largest and most influential Indian groups on the northern plains. For centuries they have lived along the Missouri River, first in present South Dakota, later in what is now North Dakota. Today they share the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation in North Dakota with the Mandans and Hidatsas. Although their postcontact history and aspects of their culture are well documented, Douglas R. Parks's monumental four-volume work Traditional Narratives of the Arikara Indians represents the first comprehensive attempt to describe and record their language and literary traditions. Volumes 1 and 2 present transcriptions of 156 oral narratives in Arikara and include literal interlinear English translations. Volumes 3 and 4 contain free English translations of those narratives, making available for the first time a broad, representative group of Arikara oral traditions that will be invaluable not only to anthropologists and folklorists but to everyone interested in American Indian life and literature. The narratives cover the entire range of traditional stories found in the historical and literary tradition of the Arikara people, who classify their stories into two categories, true stories and tales. Here are myths of ancient times, legends of power bestowed, historical narratives, and narratives of mysterious incidents that affirm the existence today of supernatural power in the world, along with tales of the trickster Coyote and stories of the risque Stuwi and various other animals. In addition, there are accounts of Arikara ritualism: prayers and descriptions of how personal names are bestowed and how the Death Feast originated.

Spray Bottle isn’t Great
Color: Black
I do really like the paper towel holder part of this. Nice and sturdy, holds a big roll of towels no problem. The sprayer on the other hand is terrible. It doesn’t spring up after a spray. I have to smack the bottom for the sprayer to pop back up. All I put in it was name brand glass spray, so it’s not like I put in a thick liquid. I find myself opening the spray bottle and pouring the cleaner instead of spraying because it’s easier.

Great great product.
Color: Black
I love this! I wanted to free up the space on my counter from our traditional paper towel holder. This is perfect. Love how clean and sleek it looks. The adhesive that came with it sucked, so I got my own double sided tape and that things has moved a wink since. Awesome product.

Love this item. Easy to install. Love the spray bottle feature to stay with paper towels. Can be wall mounted or under a shelf. Looks nice and durable.

Sturdy, great quality!
While someone complained the actual height is slightly higher, I actually wished it’s taller! Since I have a deep drawer, I was looking for 6 in ht., but this 4 in. was the highest one I’ve seen on Amazon - so it works for me! Very sturdy and easy to adjust. This was a great purchase and worked for my needs!

Nice drawer spacers
I like the quality of these and the fact that they’re plenty large enough for my largest drawers. There is foam over the ends so that your furniture doesn’t get nicked and it keeps the dividers in place.
