Dance Folklore Literature Movies Music Painting ... Visual arts The folklore of the United States , or American folklore , is the folk tradition which has evolved on the North American continent since Europeans arrived in the 16th century . While it contains much in the way of Native American tradition, it should not be confused with the actual tribal beliefs of any real band, nation or community of native people. American Folklore, rather, is that strange fusing of European ideals of "civilization" with a European obsession with the "exotic" and the "savage." Any way you slice it, American Folklore is essentially about immigrants and their misunderstanding of each other, and of the new landscape they found themselves conquering, and of the people that had already been there when the first "white men" arrived. Ultimately, American Folklore is a constant intertwining of the new and the old, the mechanical and the pastoral, the mundane and the miraculous, for no other purpose it seems than to fill up the space of a lazy afternoon.

The Empire Strikes Back is widely regarded as the most complex and interesting film of the lot, but by Return of the Jedi the seams were definitely showing. The prequels brought a host of new problems, adding more fuel to the fire.

Extractions: American Mythology LiesOfOzzy April 23, 2005 - There are two enduring myths that permeate American culture, which we all subscribe to in varying degrees, regardless of our religious views. They are the myth of an independent news industry consisting of diverse interests competing to bring you the truth, and the myth of our government protecting us from evil and harm. We immediately trust certain sources of information, because we were raised to believe that they’re "credible," and we do so without question. We immediately turn to our government for protection from all danger, because we believe it’s their purpose. These beliefs are so deeply ingrained in our culture, that expressing doubt about either’s validity will result in being ostracized by many members of our society. In other words, if you insist that the entire news industry is capable of collaborating to hide the truth, or try to tell someone that the U.S. government has murdered thousands of Americans, there’s a good chance they’ll think you’re crazy, and they’ll probably seek to avoid you. The truth is that today’s "credible" news sources are masterpieces in the art of deception, and they epitomize the propagandist’s skill. I’ve learned to appreciate the magic show, and I now know that the best way to make a nation’s constitution disappear, is to first distract the people with the court trial of a dancing pervert. And if I ever need to inspire hatred in my fellow countrymen for an innocent people, I only have to blow up a few buildings, and blame them for it. There’s no need to worry about the newspapers revealing the truth, and apparently, that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

http://www.angelfire.com/id/newpubs/frog.html

Extractions: Two Review "My interest in John's books connects with my work as a story teller. His writings help me to 'think' about Chumash folk tales from new perspectives. I am especially pleased with this new book, because it brings forward the rich symbolism of the frog in native California lore." Pilulaw Khus, Chumash Elder and story teller in Santa Barbara schools, Southern California This book "takes the reader on an exciting adventure into the field of Native American folklore. Following the tradition of Joseph Campbell and John Peabody Harrington, Anderson draws from a wealth of authentic stories, legends, and oral histories recorded from respected tribal elders. Everyone should read for themselves and their children the folklore series of Dr. John Anderson. This book delves into the symbolism of ancient frog stores from around the world. Like a skipping stone, the reader is whisked away to savor legendary samplings from California, Washinton, and Oregon, as well as along the Atlantic seabord and across the water in Europe. His multicultural approach helps people share in a greater sense of global heritage." The Frog and Water Symbolism "After reading this selection of Frog narratives, the reader cannot help but be impressed with the primary importance of the Frog in native American folk lore.

http://www.earthmatrix.com/sciencetoday/plasmaphysics.html

Extractions: Charles William Johnson The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. But, there is another state that has become recognized as that of plasma. William Crookes (1879) identified this fourth state of matter, plasma. "Ionized gas", plasma, was first used by Dr.Irving Langmuir in 1929, although he introduced the concept in 1923.. Plasmas are basically independent of their chemical properties and are defined more by their densities and relational temperatures in terms of conservation of energy, momentum laws, and the behavior of their electrons. Number densities or the number per unit volume (n) and their kinetic temperature (T) are thus defined for each of the particles present therein. Natural plasmas are cited as being the Sun, the interstellar space, the intergalactic space, the Earth (planets), Metals, etc. In a sense, then, there is hardly any matter left in the Universe that does not exist as a plasma according to scientists today. The significance, then, of any numbers related to the composition of plasma would be extremely significant to our studies. And, there is one particular number regarding plasmas that has caught our eye. The aspect regarding plasmas as a state of matter-energy concerns that of its high density, which is shown to reflect

http://www.bright.net/~dlackey/native.html

Extractions: Your task is work with a partner to create a presentation which compares a Native American folk tale, myth or legend with a popular myth from another culture - Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Early Christian, Asian, African or European. 1. First read pages 20-25 in your Elements of Literature anthology. 2. Next, choose a Native American myth or legend. One person will present the Native American folk tale to the class. In Native American tradition, stories, legends and history were passed down through oral tradition; there were no written documents. Often, storytellers would illustrate their tales with drawings on cave walls or clothing, and even in dirt on the ground. They never read the stories. Instead, the shamans, or storytellers, would engage their audience by telling the folk tale with emotion using different voices, facial expressions and gestures. I expect you to do the same. You are to use a four panel story board as a visual aid during the presentation and supplement your telling with appropriate music, photographs or artifacts. 3. The other partner will present a comparison of your Native American myth or legend to a myth or legend from another culture. They will share an explanation of how the two stories deal differently with a similar theme or event.
