Voices of the Winds - Margot Edmonds, Ella E. Clark
native American legends
KORTE INHOUD
This wonderfully colorful and appealing anthology gathers more than 130 Native American legends, many told to the authors by elder storytellers and tribal historians.
Indian legends describe the beauty of the natural world, the creation, the origin of fire, historical events, and spiritual truths.
The legends feature a broad array of mythical figures, such as Thunderbird, Coyote and Raven, as well as human characters like "The girl who married the moon" and Two brothers who became stars."
Organized by region - with tales from the Northwest, Southwest, Great Plains, Southeast and Northeast - the legends are drawn from many tribes including the Wasco, Aleut, Apache, Yosemite, Cheyenne, Sioux, Hopi, Navaho, Chippewa, Cherokee and others, and are introduced by an informative headnote, accompanied by a hundred evocative line drawings.
