The book compiles various myths and legends from indigenous cultures across a wide geographic area of British North America. It explores the rich tapestry of beliefs, creation stories, and significant characters that reflect the spiritual and cultural values of these native tribes. The opening of the anthology sets the stage for the exploration of the mythical world of the indigenous peoples of British North America. Judson begins with a preface that emphasizes the connection of the tribes to their land and the natural elements, presenting myths as a means to explain their existence and cultural practices. The early chapters introduce the reader to diverse creation stories and belief systems, highlighting the interplay of good and evil, the influence of spirits, and the significance of animals in the lives of the native tribes.
