AN INDIAN CINDERELLA
Down in the Pueblo Indian country in the Southwest there lived an Indian family. They had three daughters. They also had a fine flock of turkeys. The two older sisters were very lazy and conceited girls. They had pretty clothes of which they were very fond. The youngest sister took care of the turkeys and did other work about the home. She was always dirty and had only the old clothes of her selfish sisters to wear. She was treated as if she were just a servant. One day there was a dance and a feast across the river. AU of the family were invited and went but the poor little girl who remained at home to care for the turkeys. She felt very sad because she could not go to the dance also. While she was crying her turkeys gathered" about her. She had always been very kind to them. They were sorry to see her crying and soon learned the cause of her sorrow. So they decided to help her. They told her to wash and to comb her hair. When this was done, and she had removed her old and dirty clothes. Mother Turkey fluffed her feath¬ ers and down fell a beautiful dress. Then each of the other turkeys provided some article of dress in the same way. One a colored un- derdress, another a green sash, one a fine pair of moccasions, and another a necklace of torquoise beads, and another a dainty white shawl. With these Mother Turkey dressed the little sister. Then Father Turkey took her on his back and flew across the river with her. So she went to the dance.
There she was well received. She took care to keep away from her sisters and parents. No one knew who she was. All of the girls admired her beautiful clothes and her torquoise beads. Every¬ one was very kind to her and she had a wonderful time. Before the feast was over she went back to the river bank. There Father Turkey was waiting for her and again carried her across. There were the turkeys and she told them all about the good time which she had had at the dance and the feast. When her parents and sisters returned they saw what a pretty girl she was and also admired her beautiful costume. All knew that they had wronged her. They ask¬ ed her to forgive them and all treated her better after that. The tur¬ keys were given their freedom for their generous act and flew away to the distant mountains. The little girl felt sad for she loved the turkeys. (Tewa Tale)

| Description |
Charles E. Brown (1872-1946) was curator of the Museum of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and secretary of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. He also collected a substantial body of folklore on Wisconsin Indians, lumbering, steamboating, local history, and related topics which he published in pamphlet form. Brown created these pamphlets for the Wisconsin Archaeological Society, the Wisconsin Folklore Society, courses he taught during University of Wisconsin summer sessions, and simply as privately published booklets for the amusement of his friends and colleagues. Most are only 4-8 pages long. In the printed booklets, Brown did not usually cite sources for the tales, but his correspondence and research notes are available in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives in boxes 2-10 of Wis Mss HB.
