Louisiana Indian Tales

by Elizabeth Moore, Alice Couvillon, Marilyn Rougelot (Illustrator)

Overview

Louisiana Indian Tales vividly re-creates the struggles and triumphs of the state's first inhabitants. Dating back to 10,000 B.C., when the Paleo-Indians occupied the area and huge woolly mammoths and mastodons roamed the land, these poignant stories are based on archaeological evidence and historical knowledge traced through modern-day findings. For young readers, the tales in this collection focus on many tribes from around the state, such as the Tchefuncte, Choctaw, Chitimacha, Caddo, Houma, and Bayougoula.
