About This Book

The volume assembles traditional Seneca legends and folktales, opening with discussion of cosmology, spirits, and the storytelling atmosphere, then presenting grouped narratives: creation and sky myths; youth heroes who confront magic; courtship and marriage episodes; horror tales of cannibals, witches, and vampire-like beings; talking-animal fables; and accounts of giants and monster bears. Each story is offered as recorded from oral informants and is accompanied by commentary on recurring themes, ritual background, emblematic symbols, and illustrative drawings and plates that document ceremonial objects and pictographs.
