About Indian cultures
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Columbian stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian legends section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same story 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 Columbians, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Salish and Okanogan tribes are very similar.
Coyote:
The trickster hero of the Columbian and other Interior Salish tribes.
Coyote is foolish and boastful, and so Columbian stories about him are often humorous in nature;
however, he is a well-meaning creature who usually acts for the good of humankind.
