North American Indians,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: North American Indians Myths and Legends (Myths & Legends) (Hardcover)
This book is a collection of Native American myths and legends from all over North America. There are stories from many different tribes, like the Pawnees, the Chinooks, and the Haida. One of my favorites is from the Algonquin tribe. The story is about how Glooskap, the Algonquin Sun god, conquered all the evil spirits to be found. Then he met his match at the hands of a baby. He was trying to get the baby to come to him, but the baby refused to move. Finally, Glooskap ran away in frustration, and that myth ended.
This book has a section for myths and legends, and a section for information about the legends. The legends were really good, but the informational part of the book, for example, Chapter One, on the customs of Native Americans, was really boring because it failed to capture my interest. |
