Histoires, Contes et Légendes d'Ici Alternate Title: Histoires, Contes et Légendes de la Matawanie Description: Part of Canada'a Digital Collections (CDC) from Industry Canada, this site features the lore and folktales natives to the French Canadians, many of them of regional Indian origin, others imported from France and other European countries that came to occupy the lands that comprise Canada. Excellent resource for teachers and students alike, as the items presented are introduced individually with brief thematic and historic descriptions. Particularly worth considering are the histories of the people who emmigrated to Canada and the stories behind their journies. Another nice feature of the site is that it allows for both reading and aural presentations of the stories presented, as many are also contained as downloadable sound files. Publisher: Canada.
