This is our collection of links to Chitimacha stories and legends 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 Chitimachas, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Tunica and Natchez are very similar.
Man-Eater (Neka-ci Ckami):
Elephantine monster which ate people and tore up trees with its great strength.
