In "The Legends of the Iroquois," William W. Canfield meticulously unfolds the rich tapestry of Iroquois mythology, presenting an array of captivating tales that illuminate the belief systems and cultural heritage of this Native American confederacy. Through a blend of narrative storytelling and a reflective literary style, Canfield captures the essence of the oral traditions passed down through generations, while contextualizing them within the broader scope of Indigenous literature. The work serves not only as a collection of legends but also as a critical cultural document, emphasizing themes of nature, morality, and community that resonate deeply within Iroquois society. William W. Canfield, a noted scholar of Native American cultures, dedicated much of his academic career to the exploration of Indigenous narratives and their socio-historical significance. His deep respect for these traditions, combined with extensive field research and collaboration with Iroquois communities, informs his insightful interpretations and vivid retellings. Canfield's commitment to authenticity and preservation seeks to honor the voices of those who have long been marginalized in literary discourse, effectively bridging past and present. I highly recommend "The Legends of the Iroquois" to readers interested in folklore, anthropology, and the intricate patterns of Indigenous storytelling. Canfield's work not only enchants but educates, offering profound insights into the Iroquois worldview and inviting readers to appreciate the depth of human experience reflected in these timeless legends.

Full-color pictorial wrapper with brown and black lettering. 72 new and unused informative and historical pages! "The Indians neither built monuments nor wrote books. The only records they made were those picture writings known in after years as wampum, which were mere symbols, recording feats of arms. Consequently, all that is known of them prior to the coming to America of Europeans is traditional or conjectural. Not a page of their history has ever been written by any save their foes, and the history thus written is so distorted and marred by prejudice that much of it is misleading. In the veins of the red man ran the wild poetry and imagination of the hunt, the chase, the battle, the capture, the dance, the forests, the valleys, the mountains, the streams, lakes and rivers, for a thousand generations; and yet they were without accomplishment in letters or arts....."----from About Indian Legends.
