American Indian cultures
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Havasupai legends and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our American Indian lore 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 Havasupai, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Hualapai and Yavapai are very similar.
Tochopa:
The great Creator god of Havasupai legend, considered the grandfather of humanity.
Hokomata:
Tochopa's twin brother, a god of discord who taught the people to make war.
Pukeheh (also spelled Pu-keh-eh):
Tochopa's daughter, mother of the human race.
