Payepot and his people

Watetch, Abel (author.). University of Regina. Canadian Plains Research Center (issuing body.).

Summary: "Abel Watech was a nephew of Chief Payepot and a veteran of World War I. As noted in the in the introduction to the 1957 edition, Watech had earlier set down in 'fine, clear handwriting' the previously unwritten history of his people, having 'assembled many of the recollections of his kin to 'set the record right'." These writings were the basis of the story told here in Payepot and his People, supplmemented by further recollections by Watetch and his friend, Chief Sitting Eagle Changing Position (Harry Ball), documented either on tape or through written correspondence. Making the 50th anniversary in 2007 of the original publication, the Canadian Plains Research Centre hopes that this new edition of Paypot and His people will serve to reintroduce readers to the stories that Abel Watetch so carefully and faithfully recorded, and rekindle interest in this significant 19th century Plains Cree leader." -- Back cover.
