The concepts of nature, life and the spiritual beliefs held by the original inhabitants of North America are some of the most insightful and curiously interpreted of any peoples in the world. Their folk tales contain the similarities that are found in other cultures (flood myths, creation stories, etc.), but they are at the same time, almost paradoxically, specifically North American. Whether the stories are simple oral traditions handed down to teach morals, or they hold the keys to deeper mysteries is left up to the judgement of each individual reader. From star people to bog beasts, ghosts and giants, the tales told by indigenous North American peoples are fascinating in design and illuminating upon reflection. Updated Edition
