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