American Indians
Native tribe list
What's new on our site

This is our index of Arawak folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have organized 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 Arawaks (also known as the Lokono or Arahuaco), the traditional stories of other Caribbean tribes like the Carib and Taino tribes are very similar.
