Wes and DeLanna Studi narrate this collection of modern and traditional stories from a variety of American Indian tribes. Only mildly frightening, most of these stories are intended to teach traditions of caution, bravery, obedience, loyalty, compassion, and more. DeLanna Studi reads with a tone of nervous apprehension intended to instill fear and anxiety. Wes Studi has greater success using a slow pace and solemn tones to create the otherworldliness that often characterizes these tales. Five chapters include ghosts, spirits, witches, monsters, and the supernatural. The stories within each chapter begin with the name and tribe of the storyteller. Individual stories are contextualized with each tribe’s particular cultural beliefs. L.T. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
