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