Summary

A selection of myths from the various regions of North America are beautifully retold and illustrated in colorful scenes. The myths reflect people's lives and explain many tribal customs and rules of behavior. These aspects of Native American life and culture are explored using lifelike illustrations and factual texts. It includes sections on Native American tribes of the Northwest, Plateau and Basin, California, Northern forests, Plains, Southwest, and Eastern Woodlands. Some of the myths concern creation, the raven and the first human beings, coyote and wolf, the buffalo dance, the rain chant, the floating island, and the search for the corn sisters.
