Voices of the Winds : Native American Legends

This wonderfully appealing anthology gathers more than 130 Native American legends, many told to the authors by elder storytellers and tribal historians. The legends feature a broad array of mythical figures, such as Thunderbird, Coyote and Raven, as well as human like characters "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, Navajo, Chippewa, Cherokee and others, and are introduced by an informative headnote, accompanied by a hundred evocative drawings.
