Mohawk artist C.J. Taylor once again demonstrates the wealth of Native American mythology by collecting seven legends dealing with demons, monsters, and other creatures. From how mosquitoes came into the world to the serpent that lies beneath the Mississippi River, from how Coyote tricks a witch into releasing the buffalo to the giant that holds back a great river, Taylor illuminates these legends from tribes across North America with her beautifully vivid paintings.
