Folklore Native American Traditional Prose Narratives 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 In an unpublished U.S.F.S. report titled " Native American Historic Context: Mount Shasta California ," Winfield Henn provides an excellent review of the literature relating to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 In another unpublished U.S.F.S report, Theodoratus and Evens clearly show that the mountain remains a sacred entity today ( "Statement of Findings: Native American Interview and Data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).

Native American Myths Grade Level: 4-6 Background Objectives Standards Materials ... Resources Background Archeological evidence indicates that Native American tribes lived in the Yellowstone area almost 10,000 years ago; a major trail these tribes used for tracking bison goes right through the park. Some of the tribes that traveled or lived nearby include the Shoshone, Bannock, Blackfoot, Flathead, Nez Perce, Utes, Crows, Piegans, and Paiutes. Imagine what Native Americans must have thought when they first saw the park's geysers, mudpots, and hot springs! As in other cultures, Native American culture is rich in myths and legends that were used to explain natural phenomena that they didn't understand. The most common myths are the creation myths, that tell a story to explain how the earth was formed. Others include explanations about the sun, moon, constellations, animals, seasons, and weather. In this lesson, students will review some of these myths and then write their own myths to explain how the geologic features of Yellowstone came to be. Objectives Students will: read Native American myths summarize the myths in class discussions write their own myths National Standards National Council of Teachers of English and the International Reading Association Students read a wide range of literature from many periods in many genres to build an understanding of the many dimensions Students read a wide range of print and nonprint texts to build an understanding of texts, of themselves, and of the cultures of the United States and the world.

Buy books: Native American Native American Religions Native American religion, mythology and folklore are covered extensively at this site: Aztecs Californian Inuit Maya ... Inca A long-standing problem with this section (and several others at this site relating to traditional peoples' spiritual beliefs) has been the lack of authoritative information. We are in the process of expanding this section by scanning public domain ethnographic accounts on specific Native American religious and spiritual practices. We are fortunate that there is a wealth of such material available, which makes it so much more puzzling why more of it is not on the Internet yet. The study of Native Americans by anthroplogists has had its share of bad science and ethical problems. However, the texts we are in the process of scanning were written by 19th and 20th Century ethnographers who were known for their careful and respectful approach to the people they studied. These were scholars who lived for years with the people they studied, and obtained permission to transcribe their oral sacred literature. General These texts cover a wide range of Native Americans or don't fit into one of the categories above.

88. Mountain Myths Become familiar with native American myths and legends created to explain volcanic activity. Apply the clustering, writing process and peerediting http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/msh/llc/hr/hrl/mm.html

Mountain Myths Goal: To help students understand why, in the absence of scientific understanding, human beings have created mythology to explain natural phenomena, and to encourage an appreciation of this literature. Objectives: Students will Become familiar with Native American myths and legends created to explain volcanic activity Apply the clustering, writing process and peer-editing techniques to the writing of an original myth about Mount St. Helens Illustrate an original myth. Key Concepts: To explain natural phenomena, various cultures have created myths in which natural phenomena and features in the environment are assigned human-like personalities and qualities. Summary: Students explore the function of myths. Imagining themselves to be members of the Cowlitz (or other) Indian tribe, students do a practice exercise in which, as a group, they write a simple myth to explain rumblings from Mount St. Helens. After reading a sampling of Northwest Native American myths on the subject, students analyze the various identities that have been assigned, in past times, to mountains and other natural features. After brainstorming other possible identities, students select and develop a characterization, and create an original storyline, employing a clustering technique, a writing/rewriting process, and peer-editing strategies. Students illustrate and prepare their myths for an audience. Content Areas: Composition, literature, science, history, anthropology, geography, art

HOME Syllabus Calendar Week 1: Orientation ... laura-gibbs@ou.edu Indian Legends of California and the Southwest Week 13: Native American Tales Assignments Reading Resources ... Images Background This week, the Cherokee materials come from an anthropologist, James Mooney , who is famous (even notorious) for his field work. The Indian stories from California and Southwest come instead from a book written by a woman, Katharine Berry Judson, who is more of a compiler rather than someone doing fieldwork as an anthropologist. In that sense, Judson (who was based in the History department at the University of Washington) has a lot in common with 19th-century scholars such as Joseph Jacobs and Andrew Lang who created their folktale collections based on the materials gathered by anthropologists working in the field. Judson wrote several collections of Indian stories which have remained extremely popular and which are regularly reprinted. The stories for this week come from her book "Myths and Legends of California and the Old Southwest," which was first published in 1912. She is also the author of "Myths and Legends of the Pacific Northwest," "Native American Legends of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley," and "Old Crow Stories." Here is how Judson explained her intentions as a writer in compiling these collections: In the compilation of this volume, the same idea has governed as in the two preceding volumes - simply the preparation of a volume of the quainter, purer myths, suitable for general reading, authentic, and with illustrations of the country portrayed, but with no pretensions to being a purely scientific piece of work. Scientific people know well the government documents and reports of learned societies which contain myths of all kinds, good, bad, and indifferent. But the volumes of this series are intended for popular use. Changes have been made only in abridgments of long conversations and of ceremonial details which detracted from the myth as a myth, even though of great ethnological importance.

99. Native American Myths Of Creation - Women the time they sky woman was safely sitting on the turtle s back. And the turtle holds the Earth up to this very day. native American Myths and legends http://www.crystalinks.com/namcreationwomen.html

Native American Myths: Creation By Women Iroquois In the beginning there was no earth to live on, but up above, in the Great Blue, there was a woman who dreamed dreams. One night she dreamed about a tree covered with white blossoms, a tree that brightened up the sky when its flowers opened but that brought terrible darkness when they closed again. The dream frightened her, so she went and told it to the wise old men who lived with her, in their village in the sky. "Pull up this tree," she begged them, but they did not understand. All they did was to dig around its roots, to make space for more light. But the tree just fell through the hole they had made and disappeared. After that there was no light at all, only darkness. The old men grew frightened of the woman and her dreams. It was her fault that the light had gone away forever. So they dragged her toward the hole and pushed her through as well. Down, down she fell, down toward the great emptiness. There was nothing below her but a heaving waste of water and she would surely have been smashed to pieces, this strange dreaming woman from the Great Blue, had not a fish hawk come to her aid. His feathers made a pillow for her and she drifted gently above the waves. But the fish hawk could not keep her up all on his own. He needed help. So he called out to the creatures of the deep. "We must find some firm ground for this poor woman to rest on," he said anxiously. But there was no ground, only the swirling, endless waters.

Native American Religions Instructor: Carrie McLachlan e-mail: mclachlan@email.wcu.edu phone: 227-2303 McKee 105C Office hours: 12-1 p.m. MWF Course Perspective and Goals In this course we will study the religious culture of Native Americans. While the focus is on the culture, we will also note the historical developments and changes within traditions over time. The indigenous people of North America inhabited this continent for millennia prior to the European invasion, beginning in the 16 th century. Native American thought, history, and religious beliefs are under-represented in surveys of American thought, history, and religion. This survey of North American Religious beliefs will begin by looking at the more adequately documented beliefs of Meso-Americans. Building on that foundation, we will compare and contrast their beliefs with those of other American Indians north of the Rio Grand River. We will only be able to sample a few of these religious traditions. However reduced in number from disease and conquest, there are still, as of March 2000, 556 tribes that the Bureau of Indian affairs recognizes as eligible for Federal funding and services. While this number does not include the many tribes who are not officially recognized by the U.S.
