Traditional Stories

Stories are the life of a people. For generations, traditional stories have carried knowledge, humor, history, values, relationships, and understandings of the world from one generation to the next. Here we share stories from Abenaki and other Native traditions of the Northeast Woodlands, along with reflections on the people, places, languages, and cultural teachings connected to them. This collection will continue to grow as part of the living archive of Generations.

Every question does not need to be answered. A story is not true just because of its literal veracity. It is the message, what it teaches, that counts.
