Here is an extraordinary collection of Native American legend and lore drawn from a wealth of material gathered together by both storytellers and scholars. Much Native American belief centered around myths of creation, hunting, and farming. The gods of sky, sun, and rain were all supplicated with song, ritual, and the most sacred of all, tobacco. Many legends also grew up around certain plants that were valuable for medicinal purposes, and around certain animals that were considered sentient beings. By establishing a rapport with these animals they could become an individual's spiritual guide and protector. Legends and Lore of the American Indians is a bountiful crop of some of the most famous and interesting Native American myths.
