This volume is intended as a first step toward establishing a body of standard works, a canon, of native American literature. Complete English texts of four major works are presented for the first time: the Aztec myth of Quetzalcoatl, the Iroquois Ritual of Condolence, the Maya Cuceb, and the Navajo Night Chant. Critical commentary, maps, text figures and bibliographies are included.
