Bones in the Basket Native Stories of the Origin of People

How did people come to inhabit the Earth? Were bones, collected in a basket, changed into people and scattered East, West, North, South? Perhaps animals formed the Earth from moss floating on a raft after a great flood. Or did the first woman fall through a hole in the sky to make her home on the back of a turtle? Did souls emerge from a dark underworld by climbing a grapevine? A wonderful collection of stories taken from Chuckchee, Cree, Mandan, Modoc, Mohawk, Osage, and Zuni legends.Taylor, C. J. is the author of 'Bones in the Basket Native Stories of the Origin of People' with ISBN 9780887763274 and ISBN 0887763278.
