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.
Trickster Rabbit (Tcetkana or Chetkana):
Rabbit is the trickster figure in the folklore of the Biloxi and other Southeastern tribes. His Biloxi name
is pronounced chet-kah-nah.
