 ks [ns ; by C. W. Spinkhe Mind: Semiotic Perspectives on Marginal Sig$U]
Mythographers and anthropologists recognize the ancient presence of the Trickster figure, and according to Paul Radin in The Trickster (1972), he is the oldest of the mythic figures and a major proto-structure of the narrative hero.
Radin's account of the Winnebago Trickster figure is one of the more complete accounts of Trickster, and Radin uses the Winnebago narratives to examine the role of Trickster in maintaining (and adapting) Winnebago Culture.
Radin, Jung and Kerenyi are all aware of the literary nature of Trickster, and some of Trickster's complexity is obviously derived from his narrative role.

Paul Radin was one of the most heterodox anthropologists among the first generation of Franz Boas’ students.
Radin’s criticism of Boas for having "not once told [his students] to study the Indian as individuals" in the first letter is picked up and elaborated in the second letter, written two years later.
Radin’s critique of "the French school" is pertinent for its unique framing of his interest in the individual in sociological terms.

 Trickster
According to Radin the translation of the tricky one in a Siouan language of the Winnebago is wakdjunkaga; accordingly this specific trickster cycle is also known as the Wakdjunkaga Trickster cycle.
Among the forty nine stories are the story of Wakdjunkaga taking his extremely large and weighty penis from the box off his back where he carries it to send it across the river to impregnate a chief's daughter and the story of the talking laxative bulb consumed by the trickster resulting in effluent scatological comedies.
Radin also notes the translation of trickster in Ponca, ishtinike, and in Osage, itsike and in the Dakota-Soiux it is ikto-mi, the spider (132).

 Spirits Made of Earth: The Effigy Mounds - Ho-Chunk Connection Revisited
The extensive work of Paul Radin among the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) revealed that these people claimed to be the authors of the mounds.
An examination of the Ho-Chunk oral traditions collected by Paul Radin and a close reading of the work of both Paul Radin and Nancie Oestreich Lurie has yielded a number of suggestions.
Radin and Lurie respectively seem to have independently seen many of the same trends, the former having postulated an era of matrilineality and hierarchical behavior for the Ho-Chunk of the distant past.

 [No title]
The major figure in the ethnographical and anthropological research on the culture and history of the Hocank is Paul Radin (1883-1959), who conducted extensive fieldwork during the years 1908-1913 among the Hocank Indians.
In addition, Radin collected texts with ceremonial speeches (Radin 1923) and a semi-historical narrative on the war with the Fox (neighboring Algonquian tribe) Indians in the 18th century (Radin 1915).
From a linguistic point of view, the Radin texts represent a certain type of texts, which it is probably no longer possible to record among the members of the tribe.

 The Biomechanics of Blocking by Peter Vint
The body has two principal means of energy absorption, bone deformation and lengthening of activated muscle (Radin and Paul, 1970).
Bone deformation refers to the process by which applied forces are progressively attenuated as they are transmitted through the microstructures of the bone.
Excessive numbers of microfractures in the trabecular and subchondral bone are also believed to produce localized stiffness (Radin, Paul and Rose, 1972).

 Amazon.com: The Autobiography of a Winnebago Indian: Books: Paul Radin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Very few books truly allow you to meet another person from a far off time who lived a life completely different than the one you know, yet remaining utterly human.
'Autobiography' is the word for word narrative of a Winnebago Indian born sometime in the mid to late 1800's who was asked by Radin to tell about his life.
There are no attempts to make this into a work of political correctness or to shield aspects of the narrator's culture we might find deplorable.

If you believe Radin's description of collecting the myths (got them from an informant, translated by two more informants and 'tidied up' by him), then they seem to be pretty much OK..
