This is our collection of links to Walla Walla stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our American Indian legends 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 Walla Wallas, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Yakama and Cayuse tribes are very similar.
