Native American Myths and Legends (So many words...)

Hello out there! Yes, you're hearing us! A new episode! 

Here on the train, we like to take you listeners worldwide and dive into legends, monsters, and other crazy tales from the past. But we thought, you know what? Why not take listeners worldwide on a trip into our past here in America. 

Sure, our country may not be as old as other parts of the world, but our native cultures still have legends & monsters from the past that are equally as interesting, fun, and crazy. We decided to dive into some of the crazy myths and legends of our own natives' past. We've all heard the stories of the Wendigo and the skinwalkers, but that's not where we're going today. You passengers know we've discussed both of those in other episodes. We will look at other legends that may be less well known but people out there, including our fellow Americans.
