Myths And Legends Of The Pacific Northwest Especially Of Washington And Oregon

by Katharine Berry Judson

This book presents a collection of traditional myths and legends of the Pacific Northwest, focusing on the indigenous peoples of Washington and Oregon. The author meticulously selected myths that reflect the authentic cultural beliefs and stories of these indigenous groups, omitting those with Western influences. The narratives cover a range of themes, including creation myths, the origin of races, the theft of fire, and stories connected to the region's physical features like Mount Rainier (Tahoma), Mount Shasta, the Columbia River, and the legend of the "Bridge of the Gods." The author emphasizes the importance of preserving these oral traditions and presenting them with respect for the original storytelling style.
