Chimariko traditional narratives

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chimariko traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Chimariko people who lived on the Trinity River of northwestern California.

The Chimariko lived within a region where cultural influences from central California, the Northwest Coast, the Plateau, and the Great Basin overlapped. Motifs from all these regions would be expected in Chimariko oral literature. (See also Traditional narratives (Native California).)
