Summary "Stories the Iroquois Tell Their Children" by Mabel Powers is a collection of traditional tales written in the early 20th century. The book gathers various Iroquois stories designed not just to entertain but also to impart life lessons, cultural values, and the natural world's intricacies, reflecting a time-honored storytelling tradition. This collection includes narratives that illustrate the origins of certain animals, natural phenomena, and the relationship between humans and nature, showcasing characters like "the Little People," animals, and Iroquois children. At the start of the book, the author shares insights on the cultural importance of storytelling among the Iroquois, revealing the voices of the elders who once narrated these tales by the fire. The opening sections introduce how these stories were passed down from generation to generation, emphasizing their purpose: to teach children about goodness, bravery, and kindness. Powers also describes her journey into Iroquois culture, through which she earned the title "Yeh Sen Noh Wehs" or "the one who carries and tells the stories." The subsequent narratives delve into the Little People, the laws of storytelling among the Iroquois, and the expression of gratitude, weaving together lessons about life, community, and respect for nature.
