Raccoon & Crawfish is the story of a fateful meeting between a scheming Crawfish and a hungry raccoon. This is an Oneida Legend told orally from Elder to child for generations and generations. The story starts out as the warm glow of sunset was fading as Eli carried firewood back to the camp. He had been looking forward to his outing with Grandfather all summer. This was when he would hear another Oneida Indian Legend. Tonight, Eli is to hear a story about the consequences of lying and boasting.
