Designed as supplementary reading materials for Indian and non-Indian children in the primary grades, this series of 10 booklets presents 13 legends and 7 stories of Northwest tribes. Stories in this second level of the six-level series were developed cooperatively by people of the Crow, Muckleshoot, Skokomish, Blackfeet, Northern Cheyenne, Salish, Assiniboine, Shoshone-Bannock and Sioux tribes; Yakima Nation; and the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon. Booklets range from 7 to 43 pages in length and follow a picture book format with large type and many illustrations. The illustration styles are diverse, including cartoons, pictographs, and traditional Indian designs as well as realistic drawings. The legends include stories about Coyote, the Thunderbird of the Skokomish Tribe, and the tricksters Inkdomi of Assiniboine culture and Napi of Blackfeet culture. Titles of other legends include "Why the Codfish has a Red Face,""Why Animals and Man Can No Longer Talk to One Another,""The Great Flood,""The Rainbow," and "How Birds Learned to Fly." Topics of the non- legend stories include the Crow Fair, gathering wild peppermint as done by the Blackfeet Indians of Montana, picture writing, the design of the teepee, life by a river, and Indian values.
