Description

Richard Erdoe (ed); Alfonso Ortiz (ed). Of all the characters in myths & legends told around the world through the centuries, it’s the Trickster who provides the real spark in the action. And nowhere is he more central to the story than in Native American folklore. This book draws together the many streams of tales in Native American oral traditions. It covers the entire Native American continent, with more than 100 tales from 55 tribes. You’ll encounter the rascally Coyote, master thief & insatiable lover of the Southwest; Iktomi, the shape-shifting Spider-Man of the Lakota; Veeho, the Cheyenne daredevil; & Glooskap of the Passamaquoddy. “A collection of traditional wit & wisdom that represents the best of folkloric sources of the last two centuries.”
