Drawing from extensive ethnographic sources, this collection presents a rich anthology of Native American folktales compiled by renowned folklorist Stith Thompson.
Known for his pioneering 'Motif-Index of Folk Literature', Thompson organizes and interprets the narratives that reveal recurring patterns of human experience shared across cultures-from tales of virtue and deception to stories of talking animals and unpredictable fate. These accounts challenge conventional Western ideas of narrative structure, offering instead the dreamlike, cyclical, and often paradoxical logic of oral tradition.
Through Thompson's scholarly lens, Tales of the North American Indians illuminates both the distinct voices of Indigenous storytellers and the universal motifs that bind world folklore together, providing an enduring exploration of humanity's oldest and most revealing art form.
