Myths and Tales from the White Mountain Apache Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History Vol. XXIV, Part II

"Myths and Tales from the White Mountain Apache" by Pliny Earle Goddard is a collection of age-old stories. These stories, noted down in the White Mountain Apache dialect, look at how the Apache people saw the world, including how things were made, their family history, and the link between people and nature. The first story tells of a girl who gets pregnant from the Sun's breath, leading two boys on an adventure-filled trip to find their father, testing their spirit and resolve. During their experiences, the boys confront many scary places and meet many people. The book shares and holds onto the Apache's culture and stories from long ago.
