I've more or less finished bookmarking the public domain African, African American (and Caribbean) public domain stories that I've found online... which means I can now move on to bookmarking Native American stories. Learning about the back-and-forth between the Brer Rabbit stories and Native American tricksters is one of my goals for this summer's project... and over the long term, I want to do lots more work on Native American trickster stories and also aetiological stories, all the animals.
So, here are my counts at the moment:
African 2889 stories
African American 1547 stories
Caribbean 1051 stories
Native American 617 stories
The stories I bookmarked today came from Ruth Benedict's collection of
Cohiti tales:
