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