grandmother story. This old American Indian expression is explained in Grant Foreman’s book The Last Trek of the Indians (1946): “The absentee Shawnee cherished a prophetic tradition generally known as the ‘grandmother story’ as told by a Shawnee woman, having reference to certain present and eter- nal judgments that would be visited upon the unfortunate head of any Indian who laid aside the blanket to adopt the white man’s dress.” |
