Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Birch Bark Legends of Niagara is a book that contains a collection of traditional Native American stories and legends from the Niagara region. The author, Owahyah, is a member of the Tuscarora Nation and has gathered these stories from the oral traditions of his people. The book includes tales of creation, animal spirits, and the interactions between humans and nature. Each story is accompanied by beautiful illustrations that capture the essence of the tales. The book offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Native American people and their deep connection to the land. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Native American folklore and the history of the Niagara region.The eyes of the young warrior thus alluded to flashed with fierce delight--his nostrils dilated with strong emotion. Passing with a haughty stride in front of the Chiefs, displaying to all the bloody trophies at his side, without dignity or feeling, but in an excited, vindictive manner, he gave an exaggerated account of the foe and the battle; spoke of the loss of the War Eagle; called on the young braves to help revenge his death, swinging his tomahawk around the heads of the prisoners, counting the scalps he had torn from the heads of their people, forcing them in their faces with malignant pleasure, and calling them women, who would cry when their tortures commenced.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
