		Folk artists performances are understood only by a particular group of people for whom it is conceived.

		The preservation of Indian lore has been and is being furthered by various state historical societies, notably by the historical societies and museums of Oklahoma and of New Mexico, by the Peabody Museum, by the Carnegie Institution at Washington, and in various byways.
		As distinct a folk group of the Southwest as the Indian, the negro, or the Mexican, is a stratum of the French Creoles of Louisiana.

	The Project Gutenberg eBook of Folk Lore, by James Napier
		Every age has had its own living Folk Lore, and, beside this, a residuum of waning lore, regarded as superstitious, and so it is at the present day.
		In this collection I do not profess to include all that may come under the head of Folk Lore, such, for example, as the reading of dreams and cups, spaeing fortunes by cards or other methods—that class of superstitions by which designing persons prey upon weak-minded people.
		I have hope that the Folk Lore Society, just instituted, will consider such details and variations, and endeavour to trace their history and origin, and fearlessly give prominence to the still existing superstitions, and exhibit their degrading influence on society.
