I have always had an affinity for Native American peoples, especially the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois).  My family has always enjoyed reading the legends of  various Native American tribes.  My children wanted to share some of their favorites. Click on any title below to read the legend.

(I apologize for not being able to cite the sources for the legends listed.
If anyone knows of any credit/sources due, please contact me and I will post them.  Thanks!)
