Indian cultures list
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Klallam folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American stories 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 Klallams, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Saanich and Squamish tribes are very similar.
