Collected from the last fluent speaker of the Coos language, these tales offer a captivating glimpse into the tribe's understanding of the world's creation, the origins of humanity, and the intricate relationships between humans and the natural world. Readers will encounter a diverse array of narratives, from creation myths featuring Arrow Young Men who shape the world from soot and eagle feathers, to stories of transformative encounters with animal spirits and celestial beings.
