Native American Mythical Creatures: Guide to the World of Supernatural Beasts in Indigenous American Folklore - Paperback

by Trident Books (Author)

Long before written history, the Indigenous peoples of North America wove stories of beings that moved between worlds - spirits of the forest, guardians of the sky, tricksters of the desert, and shadows that walked the night. These weren't mere campfire tales. They were living beliefs, sacred warnings, and cultural memory passed from elder to child for countless generations.

Native American Mythical Creatures is your gateway into this vast and often misunderstood realm of folklore. From the shape-shifting terror of the Skinwalker to the storm-bringing power of the Thunderbird, from the starving cannibal-spirit of the Wendigo to the playful mischief of Coyote the Trickster, this book gathers dozens of beings drawn from tribal traditions across the continent - the Pacific Northwest, the Great Plains, the Southwest, the Northeast Woodlands, and beyond.
