Across the North American continent, Native Americans told their families and friends fabulous tales filled with outlandish characters, heroic feats, and lessons that explained how the world came to be and how individuals should act. Together, these tales highlight the impressive cultural heritage of the original inhabitants of the continent. Included in this collection are more than 50 legends from a range of tribes that span the continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Rio Grande to the Assiniboine. These fascinating stories are illustrated by the famous photographs of Edward Curtis as well as a number of paintings by travellers seeking to capture the truth and beauty of Native American life.

Readers explore the rich worldview of the Native Americans through myths and legends. Tales originating from various tribes functioned in a number of important ways: they explained the story of creation, described the relationship of humans to the rest of the universe, and preserved the sacred history of the tribe. In addition, myths and storytelling helped Native Americans pass on knowledge related to hunting, fishing, farming, healing the sick, and dealing with conflict or disaster. This book also places their mythology in historical context, for example, connecting earth myths with the Native Americans real-life, tragic struggle to preserve their lands. Filled with colorful photographs and works of art, Native Americans beliefs are beautifully illustrated, including their reverence for animals and the earth.
