Deer Dancer

Yaqui Legands of Life

by Stan Padilla

Tribal myths have always helped the Yaqui people overcome oppressive conditions imposed by dominant cultures. Yaqui artist and educator Stan Padilla presents these traditional myths and legends, rich with his dynamic illustrations and commentary, as a personal statement of a native son searching to understand tribal culture more deeply and to pay respect to profound Yaqui lifeways.
