Maidu Myths

Maidu Myths is a collection of traditional stories and myths of the Maidu people, an indigenous group of California. The book is compiled and edited by Roland B. Dixon, an American anthropologist and linguist who conducted extensive research on the Maidu language and culture in the early 1900s. The myths in the book cover a range of themes, including creation stories, animal tales, and legends of heroic figures. The stories are told in a straightforward narrative style and are accompanied by detailed annotations and commentary by Dixon, providing cultural and linguistic context for the reader. Maidu Myths is a valuable resource for those interested in Native American folklore and the history and culture of the Maidu people.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.
