What's new on our site
This is our collection of links to Tenino stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American folklore section by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same story 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 Tenino, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Umatilla and Yakama tribes are very similar.
Pah-ho-ho Klah (Ground People):
In Tenino stories, the Pah-ho-ho Klah are mythical little people of the mountains.
They are usually invisible, but catching sight of one or following the sound
of their eerie songs can cause humans to go insane.
