Maidu Myths

Maidu Myths is a collection of traditional stories and legends from the Maidu people, a Native American tribe that inhabited the central Sierra Nevada region of California. The book was compiled and translated by Roland B. Dixon, a renowned anthropologist who conducted extensive fieldwork among the Maidu during the early 20th century. The myths in this book cover a wide range of topics, including creation, heroism, trickery, and the relationship between humans and animals. They offer insights into the Maidu's spiritual beliefs, cultural practices, and historical experiences. The stories are presented in a straightforward, accessible style that preserves the original language and imagery of the Maidu oral tradition. Maidu Myths is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American folklore, anthropology, or cultural history.Extracted From The Bulletin Of The American Museum Of Natural History.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
