Synopsis
Excerpt from The Dawn of the World: Myths and Weird Tales Told by the Mewan Indians of California
The myths are related by the old people after the first rains of the Winter season, usually in the ceremonial roundhouse and always at night by the dim light of a small flickering fire. They consti tute the religious history of the tribe, and from time immemorial have been handed down by word of mouth; from generation to generation they have been repeated, Without loss and without addition.
