On the Trail Made of Dawn: Native American Creation Stories

Creation tales of Eskimo, Cherokee, Cree, and 10 other native cultures are retold in M.L. Webster's On the Trail Made of Dawn: Native American Creation Stories. Drawing on older texts and oral histories collected by the U.S. Government Bureau of American Ethnology, Webster introduces each story with a Native American saying. A brief history of the tribe from which the story springs is included at the end. ( Oct.)
