What reading level is Wah-Kee-Nah And Her People : the Curious Customs, Traditions, And Legends of the North American Indians book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
For taking the reindeer they made corrals of turf, rubbish, or drift-wood, and also made piles of turf to represent men, standing them a short distance apart in two rows diverging from the mouth of the corral, sometimes to the distance of two miles. They then drove the deer into the broad opening between these two rows, and followed them up to the corral.
The deer, taking the piles of turf for men, would not attempt to pass out between them, and were thus driven into the corral, where it was im...possible for them to escape the arrows of the hunters.
But their manner of hunting and killing the polar bear was unique. Knowing the bear to be fond of blubber, they took a piece of it as large as a man's fist, and after letting it freeze hollowed out the cen- tre sufficiently to admit a strip of whalebone coiled into a spring. This was covered with more blubber and the whole again frozen. Dressing themselves to look like seals (the bear's favorite food) the hunters took several of these frozen balls and started out.
