"Totkv Mocvse/New Fire presents the work of Earnest Gouge, an important early Creek (Muskogee) author, and makes available for the first time - in Creek and English - the myths and legends of a major American Indian tribe." "The stories cover many themes, from the humorous allegories of Rabbit, Wolf, and other personified animals, to hunting stories designed to frighten a nighttime audience in the woods. A foreword by Craig Womack and Jack Martin's introduction frame the stories with Creek literature and history. Martin and Mauldin also provide brief introductions to each story, highlighting key elements of Creek culture."--Jacket.
