Book excerpt: Nirumbee is the Crow word for The Little People. The white man considered them Indian folklore until the winter of 1934 when two miners blasted open a cave in the Pedro Mountains near Casper, Wyoming. Inside they discovered a mummy of one of these people, thus showing that the legends of the Arapaho, Shoshone, Crow, Sioux and many other bands of people native to the northern plains might not be myths, but factual. There have been many such discoveries and a host of stories of The Little People as told by the Native Americans of Utah to the arctic Inuits of Canada. Today, many tribesmen still believe that the Nirumbee exist. Bret Marchant, the author of Nirumbee - The Little People, spent a good part of his youth in and around the Crow Reservation in Montana. He was raised hearing the stories of the Nirumbee. As he grew older, Bret began collecting his own research of The Little People. What he found prompted him to tell this story.
