Absolutely fantastic that every story in here is helmed by an indigenous author. I wish there had been more from First Nation authors in the Arctic, because there are some Inuit stories I grew up with that I wish reached more people, but that's the only drawback to this volume. I especially liked that, true to Navajo tradition, certain shapeshifting spirits names were not spoken, even in text. If there is one North American folktale that terrifies me and makes me actively sick-to-my-stomach superstitious, it's the story of those shapeshifters. But the tales to be found here are wonderful and diverse and kind. The retelling of the Rougarou as a lost soul, and how one lost their soul to The Woman in the Woods were both great heartwarming highlights.
