By Elsie Clews Parsons and Elsie Clews Parson

Book Overview

Zuni Tales is a collection of traditional stories and legends of the Zuni people, a Native American tribe from the southwestern United States. The book was compiled and edited by Elsie Clews Parsons, an anthropologist and folklorist who spent many years studying the Zuni culture and traditions. The stories in the book cover a wide range of topics, including creation myths, animal fables, and tales of heroic deeds and supernatural beings. They offer a glimpse into the rich oral tradition of the Zuni people and their unique worldview, which is deeply rooted in their connection to the natural world.
