About this item

by Trident Books (Author)

Enter the world of invisible warriors who protect their people, mighty fathers turned defeated warriors, and clever hares who confront forces far more powerful than themselves. Cherokee myths are as alive today as they were a millennium ago, and the myths and traditions of every other known Native North American culture still resonate with an enduring spirit.

Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Storytelling

This book reveals the intricate tapestry of Cherokee religious philosophy and folklore. From great heroes like the Monster Slayer twins to women who become frightened and return home at night, A Soldier's Story is a lasting chronicle of the Cherokee people. Readers will meet Unetlanvhi, the shapeless and infinite Creator known by many names, and learn how the Cherokee explain the divine energies that shape existence.

More Than Just Stories

Cherokee mythology offers insights into a worldview defined by reverence for nature, community, and the unseen powers that connect all living things. These are not dry relics from the past-these living traditions still govern Cherokee communities today. Every story contains layers of meaning that resonate with universal human experiences: courage, folly, wisdom, and the ongoing dance between mortals and the gods.

Authentic. Accessible. Unforgettable

Written in clear, engaging prose that honors Cherokee oral tradition, this book is easily readable for modern audiences. It brings ancient wisdom and captivating stories to life without academic jargon or condescending explanations. Ultimately, it presents powerful stories with the reverence and clarity they deserve.
