Native Languages of the Americas: Apalai Indian Legends
This is our collection of links to Apalai folktales and traditional stories that can be read online.
We have indexed our Native American legends section
by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same
legend 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 Apalais, the traditional stories of
other Apalaibean tribes like the Wayana and
Carib tribes are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend an Apalai legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please contact us and let us know.
˜Mopo and Ikujuri (also spelled Ikujuli, Kujuri, Kujuli,
and other ways.) These are the two creator gods of the Apalai tribe. Together, they created humans, adapted the world for them to live on, and
taught them Apalai culture.
