This review is from: Flying with the Eagle, Racing the Great Bear: Stories from Native North America (Paperback)
This is a great book with Native American stories from all over America. It has many stories and about four sections with about five stories in each section. I have some Native American blood and this book has stories from my ancestors. You should really read this book.

This review is from: Flying with the Eagle, Racing the Great Bear: Stories from Native North America (Paperback)
It's a great idea for a book -- bring together the traditional stories and legends Native people tell and retell as they shape their boys into men. The sections have short introductions, and the stories are arranged by geographic region. The stories are interesting and wise, but they lack the verbal richness I was expecting from spoken stories. The retellings are sparse and... a little drab.
Not all the legends have the endings you would expect -- some are cautionary tales. Good stories. |
