Tragically, relatively little of this flourishing nation and its rich culture has survived. Its stories, however, live on today. In this priceless and engaging collection, native Cherokee and professional storyteller Lloyd Arneach recounts tales such as how the bear lost his long bushy tail and how the first strawberry came to be.

Most are a variety of “just-so” stories of the Cherokee people, with some history thrown in (Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee) and beautifully illustrated by Elizabeth Ellison. I picked this up in Cherokee, NC last summer. It‘s a quick read, and full of gentle humor.
