Native American people have many stories. Some of the stories have been told over and over. The old stories are still told today. They are called folktales. 2

Some folktales were first told around a campfire. Smoke from the fire curled up in the direction of the sky as people listened to the stories. 3

Folktales can teach a lesson. Some folktales teach that it’s wrong to brag and tease. In one folktale, a bear brags, and a squirrel teases him. 4
Seite 6
The bear gets angry, chases the squirrel, and claws his back. The claw marks on the squirrel heal, but they leave stripes. From then on, the squirrel is known as a chipmunk. 5
Seite 7
Other folktales tell how to solve problems. In one folktale, Mole builds such a big hill that animals cannot get to the pond to drink. Fox tells Mole that she must move her hill. 6
Seite 8
Instead, Mole makes her hill so big that it can’t be moved. Fox then asks Mole to dig a tunnel through the hill. This will make a path toward the pond so the animals can drink. Mole digs the tunnel and keeps her hill. 7

Another Native American folktale tells about a smart coyote. Coyote feels sorry for people because they are so cold. They have no way to warm themselves. 8
