The largest, most detailed collection of Yakima lore ever. Introductory notes and numerous photographs provide historical and cultural context. Tribal Myths and Legends explain the origin of the tribes, of fire, or the origins of landmarks, also mysterious, haunted lakes. Humorous Tales relate the ridiculous, often earthy antics of Coyote. Hunting Stories reveal the techniques, the terrors of the hunt for the ferocious grizzly, treacherous black bear, or deer, and more.
