working man, a traveler, a self-

from the East Coast – in the border state of Missouri. His regional

the orally transmitted myths,
legends, tales, and lyrics
(always songs) of Indian
cultures. There was no written
literature among the more than
500 different Indian languages
and tribal cultures that
existed in North America before
the first Europeans arrived. As
