The Dawn Of The World, Myths And Weird Tales Told By The Mewan [Miwok] Indians Of California, has an Introduction and 2 Parts. Part 1 covers Ancient Myths, and Part 2 covers Present Day Myths."IT is our custom to go abroad for the early beliefs of mankind and to teach our children the mythologies of foreign lands, unmindful of the wealth and beauty of our American folk-tales. The present collection invites attention to the unique and entertaining character of the myths of some of our California Indians.These tales were told me by the Indians of a single stock, the Mewan, the tribes of which are confined to central California and have no known relatives in any part of the world. They have been little visited by ethnologists and during the few years that have passed since the tales were collected, several of the tribes have become extinct."
