Wonderley, the curator of the Oneida Community Mansion House, has collected oral narratives from Iroquois and Algonquian peoples in the early 20th century that connect folklore and myth to their worldviews and religious beliefs. Written for general readers and scholars of Native American studies, this volume uses these tales to highlight the storytelling traditions of these cultures, with tales ranging from practical and historical to downright fantastic. The author also connects these tales to existing archaeological findings such as pipes, pottery and ceramic effigies. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
