American Native tribes
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Ohlone folktales and traditional stories 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 Ohlones, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Miwok and Pomo tribes are very similar.
Coyote:
The culture hero of Ohlone mythology. In some tales, Coyote
plays the mischievous trickter role common in California Indian folklore, but in others, he is a more
serious protagonist who fathers the Costanoan tribes and teaches them the arts of civilization.
