(3) 4-6 Tingle presents twenty-five stories, five each from the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, and Seminole oral traditions. Each section begins with an introduction about the tribe, describing unique storytelling themes and motifs and pointing out similarities. Some of the stories are deliciously eerie; others are tragic or hopeful (subjects include death and love lost and found). No sources are included.
