Short retellings for children of Native American stories that explain the natural world: how the seasons came to be, the birth of the arbutus, the origin of the violet, the beginning of birds, why the wind wails, the gift of Indian corn and the stars that dance. Each tale is credited to a people, among them Ojibwa, Iroquois, Blackfeet, Shoshone and Shawnee.
Gentle read-aloud myths, though the 1918 preface speaks of the Red Man in the language of its day. Download the free EPUB.
