Sky People, Creatures and Spirits: Folk Tales, Legends and Paranormal Encounters

The concepts of nature, life and the spiritual beliefs held by the original inhabitants of North America are some of the most insightful and curiously interpreted of any peoples in the world. Their folk tales contain the similarities that are found in other cultures (flood myths, creation stories, etc.), but they are at the same time, almost paradoxically, specifically North American.

From star people to bog beasts, ghosts and giants, the tales told by indigenous North American peoples are fascinating in design and illuminating upon reflection. Updated Edition
