The first part focuses on the creation myths of the Iroquois and other tribes of the Northeastern United States. The second part covers the creation myths of the Algonquin and other tribes of the Great Lakes region. The third part explores the creation myths of the Sioux and other tribes of the Plains.Each chapter of the book presents a different myth, retold in Curtin's own words. The myths are often accompanied by notes and commentary from the author, providing context and additional information about the stories and the cultures from which they originate.Creation Myths of Primitive America is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American mythology and culture.
