Seller Description
"To help us learn and understand more about the life of the North American Indians, their myths and legends are a rich source of their oral tradition, comparable to reading European folklore and fairy tales. So superbly trained were North American Indian tribal historians that their acting and the mimicry of sounds portraying human and animal characters were limited only by the imagination of the storytellers... You will discover here how tribal traditions and cultures have been preserved from generation to generation from their earliest beginnings in Alaska during the last Ice Age. From these, we can gain greater understanding of the long heritage of Indian tribal life." -from the Introduction to VOICES OF THE WINDS
Overview
This wonderfully colorful and appealing anthology gathers more than 130 Native American legends, many told to the authors by elder storytellers and tribal historians.
