Tall tales, tales of wonder, ethnic folklore and American folklore are all great ways to get kids reading, doing web work and learning a little more about their heritage. These are a few of the sites I found doing a Google search with keywords like "Native American Tales," "African American Tales," "Tall Tales" and "American" AND "American Folklore." If you are interested in the idea of storytelling, a Google search with the keyword "Storytelling" results in some great sites as well.

Tall Tales This site briefly explores the features and history of tall tales, has links to tales and a template for readers to create their own tall tales. Visit http://www.hasd.org/ges/talltale/talltale.htm.

Tales of Wonder features a small sampling of the rich heritage of folk and fairy tales from around the world. Go to http://www.darsie.net/talesofwonder/index.html.

Native American Lore Index You'll find a list of links to several stories of Native American Indian lore from several tribes across Turtle Island. Check out.

Afro-American Almanac Folktales This is a great Internet resource for African American history and folktales. Go to http://www.toptags.com/aama/tales/tales.htm.
