101. Native American Folklore Of Mount Shasta
     In an unpublished USFS report titled native american Historic Context Mount According to Brunvand, myths are traditional prose narratives, which,

     Extractions: There is no doubt that Mount Shasta has long been viewed as a sacred place by a number of Native American groups, and the special relationship has caused the mountain to play a significant role in their customs, myths, legends, and folktales. In an unpublished U.S.F.S. report titled " Native American Historic Context: Mount Shasta California ," Winfield Henn provides an excellent review of the literature relating to the historical importance of Mt. Shasta to local Native Americans (1991). In another unpublished U.S.F.S report, Theodoratus and Evens clearly show that the mountain remains a sacred entity today ( "Statement of Findings: Native American Interview and Data Collection Study of Mount Shasta, California" 1991). We have included the full-text versions via the links above for those wishing to further examine local Native American groups and their relationship with Mount Shasta. Also, while this page contains links to full-text tales, there are a couple general points worth considering before you read the narratives. First, although there are a quite a few traditional prose narratives that have been collected from local Native Amerian groups, it is sometimes impossible to know whether the tale in question is a myth, legend or folktale. According to Brunvand, myths are "traditional prose narratives, which, in the society in which they are told, are considered to be truthful accounts of what happened in the remote past." Further, myths most often deal with "the activities of gods and demigods, the creation of the world and its inhabitants, and the origin of religious ritual." Legends, like myths, are also regarded as true by the teller, but legends are often secular, set in the historical past, and most commonly assign humans the major narrative roles. A narrative regarded as fictional by the storyteller would be termed a "folktale" (Brunvand 1998).

102. Trickster
     Trickster myths are found in nine of the eleven native american Regions (Hynes 3). Koshare, Koyemshi, and Neweke are trickster clowns of the Pueblo people

     Extractions: The trickster is a mythological figure dominant in creation and recreation stories birthed with stories themselves. The historical global omnipresence of this general character, who can shapeshift within the chosen animal or human embodiment, has given rise to much study and debate. This writing will specifically concern itself with tricksters within Native American storytelling. Trickster is at one and the same time creator and destroyer, giver and negator, he who dupes others and who is always duped himself. He wills nothing consciously. At all times he is constrained to behave as he does from impulses over which he has no control. He knows neither good nor evil yet he is responsible for both. He possesses no values, moral or social, is at the mercy of his passions and appetites, yet through his actions all values come into being (xxiii). He concludes his study with: The overwhelming majority of all so-called trickster myths in North America give an account of the creation of the earth, or at least the transforming of the world, and have a hero who is always wandering, who is always hungry, who is not guided by normal conceptions of good or evil, who is either playing tricks on people of having them played on him and who is highly sexed. Almost everywhere he has some divine traits. These vary from tribe to tribe. In some instances he is regarded as an actual deity, in others as intimately connected with deities, in still others he is at best a generalized animal or human being subject to death (155).

Home Page Learning and Teaching Strategies in dealing with Native American Oral Literatures Andrew Wiget is a distinguished scholar in this field - note the bibliographical entries below. Here are some of his comments: Culture is a system of beliefs and values through which a group of people structure their experience of the world. By working with this definition of culture, which is very close to the way current criticism understands the impact of ideology upon literature, we can begin to pluralize our notion of the world and understand that other peoples can organize their experience in different ways, and dramatize their experience of the world through different symbolic forms. If culture is a system of beliefs and values by which people organize their experience of the world, then it follows that forms of expressive culture such as these (creation) myths should embody the basic beliefs and values of the people who create them. These beliefs and values can be roughly organized in three areas: (1) beliefs about the nature of the physical world; (2) beliefs about social order and appropriate behavior; and (3) beliefs about human nature and the problem of good and evil.
