Bruchac, coauthor of Keepers of the Animals, presents a collection of 24 Native American myths, taken from the stories of the Mohawk, Hopi, Yaqui, Haida, and others cultures, which demonstrate the power of animals in Native American tradition. Illustrations throughout.

內容簡介

The Papago Indians of the American Southwest say butterflies were created to gladden the hearts of children and chase away thoughts of aging and death. How the Butterflies Came to Be is one of twenty-four Native American tales included in Native American Animal Stories. The stories, coming from Mohawk, Hopi, Yaqui, Haida, and other cultures, demonstrate the power of animals in Native American traditions. Parents, teachers, and children will delight in lovingly told stories about "our relations, the animals." The stories come to life through magical illustrations by Mohawk artists John Kahionhes Fadden and David Fadden."The stories in this book present some of the basic perspectives that Native North American parents, aunts, and uncles use to teach the young. They are phrased in terms that modern youngsters can understand and appreciate... They enable us to understand that while birds and animals appear to be similar in thought processes to humans, that is simply the way we represent them in our stories. But other creatures do have thought processes, emotions, and personal relationships...We must carefully accord these other creatures the respect that they deserve and the right to live
