Native Languages of the Americas:
Assiniboine Indian Legends

This is our collection of links to Assiniboine 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 Assiniboines, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Stoney and Dakota Sioux tribes are very similar.

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