Synopsis "they call me agnes,a crow narrative based on the life of agnes yellowtail deernose (in English)"
In They Call Me Agnes, the narrator, Agnes Deernose, provides a warm, personal view of Crow Indian family life and culture. Fred Voget, anthropologist and adopted Crow, sets the stage for Agnes's story, which he compiled from extensive interviews with Agnes and her friends. He describes the origins of the Crows and their culture during buffalo-hunting days and early reservation life. Through Agnes, an elderly Crow woman, he also reveals changes wrought on this once far-ranging, independent tribe by twentieth-century forces. Fred W. Voget, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, was the author of The Shoshoni-Crow Sundance, also published by the University of Oklahoma Press.
