Native Indian
What's new on our site
This is our collection of links to Kitanemuk folktales and traditional stories that can be read online. We have indexed our Native American stories 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 Kitanemuks, the traditional stories of related tribes like the Serrano and Tongva tribes are very similar.
Canniqpa
(also spelled Tsannixpa):
The high Creator god of Kitanemuk mythology. He is venerated for creating the universe and
the other gods, but is a distant and incorporeal spirit who is not personified in Kitanemuk myths.
