What's new on our site

This is our collection of links to Tubatulabal folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Indian story 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 Tubatulabal, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Shoshoni and Kawaiisu tribes are very similar.
Coyote:
Coyote is the culture hero of the Tubatulabal tribe. As in other tribes of California and the Great Basin,
Tubatulabal coyote stories range from light-hearted tales of mischief and buffoonery to more serious legends
about the nature of the world.
