Native Languages of the Americas:
Aleut Indian Legends

This is our collection of links to Aleut folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our indigenous American legends section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same story are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Aleuts, the traditional stories of related people like the Inuit and Yupik tribes are very similar to Aluet myths.

Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Aleut legend for this page or think one of the ones on here should be removed, please contact us and let us know.
