Native Languages of the Americas:
Cayuga Legends

This is our collection of links to Cayuga folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our American Indian stories 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, so you may also want to visit our page comparing the stories from the Iroquois tribes (which include the Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, Mohawk, and Cayuga Indians), since the traditional stories of those tribes are very similar.

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