Welcome to North American Folklore & Legends!

This website accompanies the weekly class at Alternative Choices in Education (ACE), held on the campus of the McGroarty Arts Center in Tujunga, CA.

​

We'll be exploring the amazing legends and traditional tales from across the continent of North America, including the cultures of indigenous peoples, European settlers, and African Americans. Are tall tales merely bald-faced lies, or do they play a part in understanding history? We'll dive into uncovering the facts and fallacies that established individuals, events, and landmarks, and wove them into the tapestry of our nation's narratives.
