This is our collection of links to Modoc stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian stories 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 Modocs, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Yakima and Klamath are very similar.
