What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Kuskokwim folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American mythology 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 Kuskokwim, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Tanaina and Ahtna tribes are very similar.
Raven:
Raven is the culture hero of the Kuskokwim and other Alaskan Athabaskan tribes.
He is a revered and benevolent transformer spirit who helps the people and shapes their world for them,
but at the same time, he is also a trickster character and many Kuskokwim stories about Raven have to do with
his frivolous or poorly thought out behavior getting him into trouble.
