Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This comprehensive collection of Native American folklore draws on a unique oral tradition, illuminating for students the very roots of Native American culture. Gathered from numerous tribes—Seneca, Hopi, Navaho, Creek, Cheyenne, Cherokee, and Blackfoot—these thirty-six stories, passed down through generations, are narrated by Dee Brown as they might be told around a campfire today. Updated for the modern reader, these tales capture the true spirit and flavor of Native American Mythology.

With a new preface written by the author especially for this edition and attractive line illustrations by Native American Louis Mofsie, this unique is essential reading for a new generation of students interested in Native American culture and history, mythology and folklore, and cultural history.

Book News Annotation:

Reprint of the 1979 collection of Native American folklore that draws on the oral traditions of a variety of different tribes. The 36 stories, as interpreted by the author, communicate a mythology and spiritual sensitivity that our society is just beginning to appreciate.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
