Myths, legends, and folktales all play important roles in explaining how the world came to be the way it is, as well as giving listeners entertainment with humorous or scary stories, or giving them role models to look up to in hero tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author of this book has endeavored to provide at least one myth from every major culture group in North America: Arctic, Subarctic, Plateau, Northwest Coast, Great Basin, Great Plains, California, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast Forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOf the many different genres of story available, four are chosen for this present volume. The first has to do with the origins of things, either of the world in its entirety or some aspect thereof that was significant to the people who created the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe other side of creation is death, and so the second section concerns tales of ghosts and monsters, some terrifying, some friendly, some the victims of prank-playing living people. However, out of the acts of destruction wrought by supernatural beings there is often something new created or a change worked that is necessary for the world to function properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTricksters and heroes occupy the third and fourth sections of the book, respectively. Coyote is, of course, a favorite trickster character for most North American Indigenous groups, while Raven is important to peoples in the Pacific Northwest and Arctic regions. Beaver is a trickster for the Nez Perce of the Columbia River Plateau, and for the Pomo of California, little Woodrat also lives by his wits. These tricksters are by turns clever, gullible, victor, and victim, but always there is a moral lesson to be learned from the stories of their adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe final section of the book presents stories of Indigenous heroes. Many of these heroes are shared by multiple cultures, usually within the same or adjacent culture areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics and myths covered in manuscript 1 of this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGhosts and Monsters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrickster Tales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHero Tales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much, much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics and myths covered in manuscript 2 of this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the Possum's Tail is Bare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKanati and Selu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Tlanuwa and the Uktena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Tales of Snake Transformations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Daughter of the Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Ball Game of the Birds and Animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Disease and Medicine Came to Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome of the topics and myths covered in manuscript 3 of this book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoctaw Myths and Legends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegends from Other Southern Tribes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSo if you want to learn about Native American Myths, scroll up and click the \"add to cart\" button!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt Clayton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Refora Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953934222","brand":"Refora Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709378728073,"sku":"9781953934222","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_15d29505-edb3-47a7-85b2-3c761b25fb4c.jpg?v=1719515048","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/native-american-myths-captivating-myths-and-legends-of-cherokee-mythology-the-choctaws-and-other-indigenous-peoples-from-north-america-9781953934222","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
