Originally published in 1917, the book contains a selection of traditional stories from the Iroquois people, a Native American tribe that once inhabited the northeastern United States and parts of Canada. The tales in this book are meant to be shared with children, and they cover a range of topics, from creation myths to animal fables to cautionary tales about the consequences of greed and selfishness. Each story is accompanied by illustrations that capture the spirit and cultural richness of the Iroquois people.
