These stories continue to be refreshing. I love the wide-ranging (mythological) impacts of each story.
My only gripe is they are not grouped by tribe. The author jumps from one tribe to another and then back to the same tribe again. It makes it hard to really learn about the individual tribes.

I am still enjoying these tales. The landscapes are so beautiful and intertwined so intimately with the focus of the tales.

The trickster tales are always fascinating, and I came across the only story I was already familiar with: the Corn Mother.

I had forgotten that it takes a different sort of muscle to read mythology.
In fiction, we expect plots and climaxes and falling tension. It is strange to read a story that is all explanation and no mystery. But, then again, that is the function of myth.
I love these stories. I’m still taking them in small chunks for memory’s sake, but reading them is a breath of fresh air.

Reading this in short sessions because I want to remember these tales.
My favorite so far was the Iroquois story of spring.
