Legends

Kate McBeth collected a few Nez Perce legends for her book The Nez Perce Since Lewis and Clark.  Although full text is included on this website for all of them, we have selected four for special attention.    These four, Creation Story, Woman in the Moon, Mountain Spirit, and Seasons are illustrated by Keith TwoHatchet a great-grandson of Rev. Mark Arthur the Nez Perce minister who told them to Kate McBeth.
