Mabel Powers draws on the oral tradition of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy to present a collection of legends, creation stories, and teaching tales retold for young readers. The stories explain natural phenomena, celebrate the relationship between people and the natural world, and convey the moral values at the heart of Iroquois culture — all with warmth and narrative simplicity.
A valuable record of a rich Indigenous storytelling tradition, this book remains one of the more accessible early introductions to Haudenosaunee folklore. This free EPUB is cleanly formatted for any device.
