Biloxi Legends, Myths, and Stories
This is our index of Biloxi folktales and traditional stories that can be read online.
We have organized our Native American myths 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 Biloxi tribe, the traditional stories of neighboring tribes like the
Tunica and Natchez are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Biloxi legend for this page, please let us know.
