What's new on our site
This is our collection of links to Warao folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American 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 Waraos, the traditional stories of neighboring tribes like the Carib and Arawak tribes are very similar.
