Native Americans information
What's new on our site today
This is our collection of links to Sarcee folktales and stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian myths 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 Sarcee, the mythology of neighboring tribes like the Dene and Stoney are very similar.
Old Man (Xalitsa or Halitsa in Sarcee, sometimes also known as
Halitsa-tsinna or Chutigha):
Creator and culture hero of Sarcee mythology. Old Man is a benign character who does many good deeds
for the people, but unlike the creator gods of most other Athabaskan tribes, he is also a trickster figure
who features in many humorous stories in which he behaves in undignified and
unwise ways.
