Fables from Blackfeet

Discover a collection of tales that crackle with the raw power of nature and the deep mysteries of the spirit world, as told by the Blackfeet people. In these stories, the thunder does more than roar-it steals away the innocent, and only the bravest can dare to confront it in its own lair. Journey through realms where a grieving husband battles the very elements to bring his beloved back from the land of ghosts, where every step could be his last, and where each word spoken could turn life into death or death into life.

Enter the world of sacred encounters and forgotten places, where humans and animals converse, offering cryptic wisdom or dire warnings. Meet the Raven Chief, whose magic opens the eyes of those lost in their own sorrow, and who lends his dark feathers to shield the living from death's gaze. Learn of the old ones who hold secrets to traverse the unseen worlds, guiding the brave-hearted with rituals of medicine, mystery, and spirit.

In these pages, spirits, beasts, and the forces of the earth come alive in fables passed down through generations of the Blackfeet people. Each story speaks of the courage needed to face what cannot be controlled, to confront what cannot be understood, and to find love, family, and honor in the midst of a world where the line between the living and the dead is always shifting.
