Native cultural traditions
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Klamath folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American legend 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 Klamath, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Modoc and Northern Paiute tribes are very similar.
K'mukamtch (also spelled Kmukamtch, Gmo'Kamc, Kumukumts, or Kmnkamtch):
