Native Languages of the Americas: Halkomelem/Cowichan Indian Legends
This is our collection of links to Halkomelem and Cowichan 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 Halkomelems, the traditional stories of
other Salishan tribes like the Squamish and
Snohomish tribes are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Halkomelem legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please contact us and let us know.
