Native American folklore told by a Kiowa tribal member Magpie and Turtle haven’t always got along. Magpie thinks Turtle is too slow, and Turtle sees Magpie as a weak creature that isn’t special at all. But then one day comes along a tricky snake who tries to pit them against each other even more than they already are. Will Magpie and Turtle fall for Snake’s tricks, or will there be a surprising change of heart? The Magpie and The Turtle reminds us of the importance of every living creature, teaches how our actions play a role to hurt or help someone else, and gives insight into American Indian tradition and culture.

Native Americans use storytelling to get to know one another, as well as, passing history and messages on to newer generations. These stories are a heritage, but they will be known only as long as they are told. When someone ceases to tell a story, part of our cultural knowledge is gone. The stories of Native American Indians have always possessed some greater meaning. They are often based in nature or about animals. And even though the tribes may vary in location or beliefs, deep within you will find a common thread. Respect for nature can be heard in stories from tribes from Canada to Florida. The stories included in this book show Native American storytelling at its best.Among the stories included in this fourth volume Of the Native American Story Book are: The Woman and her Bear, The Story of Winter Snow, The Warrior of High Cliff, The Sacred Pipe of the T'salagi, The Origin of Fire and the Canoe, The Long Journey, A New Bow for Tani, The Trickster's Great Fall and His Revenge, Grandfather Thunder, The Origin of the Doll Being and many, many more.
