About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Myths of the North American Indians by Lewis Spence. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. At its core, the book presents an effort to synthesize and explain the diverse and profound ways in which Native American cultures have expressed their beliefs, values, and worldviews through mythology. By focusing on these stories' cultural significance and their relation to the natural world, Spence contributes to a broader understanding of the intellectual and spiritual richness of North America's Indigenous peoples. - Summary by Anthony Karl Futterer
