LEGENDS of the IROQUOIS

Tehanetorens is a master storyteller in the Mohawk tradition. In this book he presents legends both in the form of pictographs and English text that carry the reader into Native American culture and teach basic lessons about what it means to be a human being.

Children are especially fascinated by the pictographs, and the narratives are beautifully supported with illustrations by Iroquois artist Kahionhes. A key to the Six Nations pictographs, symbols, and clans are fully depicted.
