Native Languages of the Americas:
Sarcee Legends, Myths, and Stories
This is our collection of links to Sarcee folktales and stories that can be read online.
We have indexed our Indian myths section
by tribe to make them easier to locate; however, variants on the same
legend are often told by American Indians from different tribes, especially if those tribes are kinfolk or neighbors to
each other. In particular, though these legends come from the Sarcee, the mythology of
neighboring tribes like the
Chipewyan and Stoney are very similar.
Enjoy the stories! If you would like to recommend a Sarcee legend for this page or think one of the ones on here
should be removed, please let us know.
