From the rear cover
In this widely praised and accessible work, Claude Levi-Strauss examines the rich mythology of American Indians and illustrates how centuries of contact with Europeans have altered the tales. Levi-Strauss focuses on the opposition between Wild Cat and Coyote, two figures in a Nez Perce myth, to explore the meaning and uses of gemellarity, or twinness, in Native American mythology.
