Native American tribes
What's new on our site today
This is our collection of links to Chilcotin 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 Chilcotins, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Carrier and Chipewyan tribes are very similar.
Raven:
Raven is the culture hero of the Chilcotin and other Northwest Coast tribes.
He is a benevolent, respected figure who helps the people by bringing them sunlight and salmon,
but at the same time, he is also a trickster character and many Raven stories have to do with
his frivolous or poorly thought out behavior getting him into trouble.
