Full of mystery, a sense of awe at the surrounding world and the courage of great warriors, the mythology of Canada's Indians forms an incredibly rich source of story and legend. Whether celebrating great journeys and feats of endurance or giving in simple but strong language a sense of identity with the land and its natural wonders, here is a moving introduction to the heritage of Canada's native peoples. Ojibway and Iroquois; Cree and Okanagan, all are here in thirty stories of magicians, beautiful maidens and a disappearing vision of the universe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of storyteller was always a very special one among Native Americans, combining the functions of philosopher, historian, and entertainer. Winter was the time for the stories around the fire, when the hunt was over and people longed to be “lifted to the fairyland of pure imagination,” as an early twentieth-century Native American has said. This book contains the magic created around the Indian fireside, for readers of all ages. It includes myths of creation, culture myths, nature myths, and beast fables, as well as the legends, personal narratives and historical traditions of thirty North American Indian tribes.
