Patwin traditional narratives

Patwin traditional narratives

Patwin traditional narratives include myths, legends, tales, and oral histories preserved by the Patwin people of the southwestern Sacramento Valley, California.

Patwin oral literature is most similar to that of other central California groups. Strong external influences from other regions are not evident. ("See also" Traditional narratives (Native California).)
