Native Languages of the Americas: Salish Indian Legends
This is our collection of links to Salish folktales and traditional stories that can be read online.
We have indexed our Native American mythology 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 Spokane, Kalispel, and Flathead Salish tribes, the traditional stories of
neighboring tribes like the Kootenai and
Coeur d'Alene tribes are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Salish legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please contact us and let us know.
