Native Languages of the Americas: Onondaga Indian Legends
This is our collection of links to Onondaga 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, so you may also want to visit our page comparing
the stories from the Iroquois tribes (which
include the Seneca, Oneida, Cayuga, Mohawk, and Onondaga Indians), since the traditional stories of those
tribes are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Onondaga legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please contact us and let us know.
