Seneca Fiction, Legends, and Myths

This book is a collection of folklores from The Seneca, a noted and influential Native American tribe of the Iroquois, or the so-called Five Nations of New York. They are now settled chiefly on the Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Tonawanda reservations in New York and some live on the Grand River reservations in Ontario, Canada. Featured in this book are myths and legends such as the two-headed snake, Haieñdoñnis and Yenogeauns, as well as the story of the bloody hand.
