520    This new selection of myths offers a broad insight into 
       the nature and lifestyle of the ancestral lands of the 
       Native American tribes that once stretched from the tip of
       Alaska, down to the Bay of Mexico. Hundreds of languages, 
       with traditions and folkore, grew independently across the
       continent, flourishing in deserts, mountains and lush 
       valleys of a vast land. The loss of such ancient 
       traditions is a reminder of the damage humans can wreak 
       through ignorance, desperation and greed, as settlers from
       Europe swept imperiously across the newly discovered, but 
       long-populated lands of the so-called New World. From 'The
       Great Deeds of Michabo' to 'The Legend of Hiawatha', from 
       trickster creator-deities, heroes and supernatural beings 
       to epic voyages and an affinity with animals, there is so 
       much to discover in this comprehensive new book.
