Traditional stories passed down from father to son were often used to offer examples of the positive qualities of manhood. Flying with the Eagle, Racing the Great Bear is a continent-spanning collection of sixteen such thrilling tales in which young men must face great enemies, find the strength and endurance within themselves to succeed, and take their place by the side of their elders.Joseph Bruchac is a traditional storyteller and writer whose work often reflects his Abenaki Indian ancestry and his lifelong interest in American Indian history and culture.

Rabbit's snow dance : a traditional Iroquois story
\"Rabbit loves the winter. He knows a dance, using a traditional Iroquois drum and song, to make it snow--even in springtime!

Our Stories Remember
Bruchac, prolific Native American author and children's storyteller, synthesizes the stories of many different Indian nations, including Navajo, Abenaki, Cherokee, Cree, Sioux, and Tlingit in order to illustrate core values, which are pivotal to them all. In the old days, he writes, telling stories that \"remember when people forget\" was as important as shelter building, hunting, and ceremonies because \"they showed the right way to behave.\" Chapters devoted to the earth's origins, the \"circularity of existence\" (all created things are of equal importance), art, the spirit world, and life-sustaining plants and animals all come together to elucidate the Native American belief that \"we are one with everything around us.\" Bruchac feels it is time for whites to stop feeling guilty about the plight of the American Indian, and to begin to take positive action--to \"refill our cups with life.\" \"Pour out your cup,\" he urges, \"fill it with stories.\" This thought-provoking work, enriched with valuable annotated reading lists, should inspire and help each reader to take that first step.
