Indian tribe facts
What's new on our site today!
This is our collection of links to Mixtec stories and folktales that can be read online. We have indexed our American Indian myths 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 Mixtecs, the traditional stories of other Mesoamerican tribes like the Zapotec and Aztec are often similar.
