Some tales speak of ancient migrations. However, Native Americans are descended from hunting and gathering peoples of northeastern Asia who traveled across the Bering Sea into North America during the most recent Ice Age. During that Ice Age, which ended around 8000 B . C ., the level of the oceans was much lower, and a bridge of land linked Siberia and Alaska. Some groups may also have reached Alaska from Siberia by boat or by walking on ice. Over thousands of years, the population of North America grew and diversified into the peoples and cultures that Europeans encountered when they began to colonize the continent in the A . D . 1500s. Regions and Types. Scholars have divided North America into different regions based on patterns of Native American mythology. Although each region contains many different peoples and languages, some elements of mythology are shared across the region, and certain kinds of stories are particularly important.

    Extractions: Return to Miscellaneous This is a brief commentary published in Sojourners in September 2004. It's a look at some of the reasons we Americans might have been willing to believe so many of the false rationales given for our invasion of Iraq, specifically, the willingness of most human beings to scapegoat others. American mythology This past spring several national polls painted a stark portrait of an American public deceived.  Absolute majorities of Americans believed that Iraq provided substantial support to al-Qaeda before the Iraq war (including 20% who believed that Iraq participated in the 9/11 attacks); Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or an active WMD program just prior to the war; Iraq posed an immediate threat to the safety of the United States most other nations supported the US position in Iraq ; and the Iraq insurgency comprised almost entirely foreign and fringe elements. Political support for President Bush was directly tied to these myths: People who believed them tended to support the president; others did not.  Were the American people to believe only what is demonstrably true, it seems, President Bush would not be re-elected.

    Extractions: RBHS Main Mancoff Main Freshman Main Introduction ... Conclusion Introduction: As you've progressed through our mythology unit, you've read many classical myths about gods, goddesses, heroes, and the creation of the world. However, one common misconception about myths is that they are "someone else's" stories. In other words, we tend to believe that myths apply to other cultures, not our own. Therefore, this assignment will challenge that idea and ask you to consider the following: what myths shape American culture? And what do those stories say about us and our values? Task: Research and review common American folktales. Using the information you've gathered, write a research-based, persuasive essay answering the following: What do American folktales reveal about the morals and values of modern American culture? Process: 1. Research and review some common American folktales. Use the following sources: Any of the web sites listed below. Any encyclopedias or books available in our library. Any encyclopedias or books available at your public library.

    http://www.mythome.org/SouthAm.html
    
    Extractions: Last Updated: Wednesday, December 8, 1999 South American Mythology Although the gods are split into Inca and pre-Inca, there are civilizations which had no writing and if they affected any of the people who followed them, no one gives these predecessors credit. It is likely that most of the Inca's skill in pottery, cultivation of maize and stoneworking came from these prior civilizations. Living for more than a millenium in the costal desert areas of south Peru, they are famous for the more than 100 huge drawings of birds, animals, and geometric shapes into the hard coastal desert floor. Some people speculate this means visitation by U.F.O's. It actually means that Nizca's were drawing pictures which only their gods could see (where are the gods?...up there, a universal human response). And actually Nizcams themselves may have been able to see with sharp eyes these scupltures from surrounding mountains. To draw something without being able to actually see it from the view you are are sketching it from is no remarkable skill for intelligent people. On a lesser scale, some people are amazed when they fly over Christian churches and find that they are all in the shape of a cross. Perhaps the builders of these churches had help from U.F.O.'s

40. MythHome: North American Mythology
    North American Mythology 19952001 Untangle Incorporated Last Updated Thursday January 29, 2004  
    http://www.mythome.org/NorthAm.html
    
    Extractions: Last Updated: Thursday January 29, 2004 Briefly,about 10,000 years B.C.E a group of nomadic tribesmen left central east Asia and crossed the ice-capped Bering Strait from Siberia to Alaska. Some settled in North America and were subsequently named 'Eskimos' and 'Red Indians' by the European colonists. The rest moved south to Central and South America to eventually become Mayas, Incas, Aztecs and other historically famous Amerindian nations. There is some evidence for a migration from Siberia via boats. And there is scholars who argue that the migration was north from South America who were colonized by Asian sea farers from Siberia, Japan (Ainsu), China, and the South Seas islands. Then, around 2500 years B.C.E., a group of Amerindians, the Arawaks, left their homes on the banks of the Orinoco River in South America. They travelled by rafts in dangerous seas, taking with them small animals, plants and seeds. One of the Caribbean islands they landed on was Dominica. Here they lived peacefully for almost 1,000 years until they were invaded and conquered by another group of Amerindians, the Caribs. Over the years the two cultures and languages became fused and their simple life-style based on fishing and the sea continued peacefully until the fifteenth century, when a new set of conquerors from Europe discovered the Caribbean.
