Native American Myths & Legends

This book is a beautifully presented collection of the fascinating stories told by the indigenous peoples across the continent of North America.

These legends span the width of the continent with tales from the Ojibwa of the Great Lakes region to the Inuits of Alaska. Together, these carefully chosen tales show the sheer diversity of the First Nations of Canada and the United States but for all their differences, certain common themes weave through all the tribes' tales. It makes for an excellent introduction to the myths and legends of North America. Read more
