Very interesting and necessary the work of diffusion of legends originating from America that you have presented, @luces. In that line, also inscribes part of the posts that @nancybriti has offered us.
The repertoire of myths and legends (I make the difference between the two; the latter usually derive from the former) of our aboriginal cultures is very rich, diverse and immense. And, as you have said here, making them known is a very valuable task.
Thank you for your post, nice and well illustrated. Greetings.
