Website Awards Native American World Mythology Many Native American myths could equally be called folktales: they seem to be about ordinary people, not gods. However, the Native American attitude is that everything is animated by divinity. Hence ordinary people, animals and places are divine. Often the people are not even named, or are given a convenient tag, such as Rabbit Boy – raised by rabbits. Nor is there much attempt to characterize them. Universal principles are held to be more important than individual traits. Whereas Greek myths were shaped and ordered by classical authors, few Native American myths were written down before the late 19th century. Thus the apparent inconsistencies of the right-brain oral tradition are still very much present. Please use the links to the left to navigate this and other areas of Gods, Heroes, and Myth.

Native American Mythology Unit Table of Contents Introduction Activities Resources Archived Work ... Culminating Campfire Activity Introduction This unit ideally takes place from "Columbus Day" through Thanksgiving. Experiences such as a field trip to The Museum of American Indian Culture and silent "stream of consciousness" sessions in the woods on campus preceed classroom lessons. To enable the children to experience nature as the early inhabitants of our NE woodlands, we take our students to a nearby wooded area. They bring with them a book we've dubbed "Bits and Pieces," a scrapbook-type collection of pre-writing brainstorms, outlines, quotes, pictures, articles, etc. The children record all of the sights, sounds, thoughts, sensations, and imaginings as they sit in the woods for a 30-40 minute period. This experience helps the children establish settings for the myths they will eventually write. They are often surprised at how poetic their pieces sound. Some are turned into " woods poems ."

Native American Mythology Hummingbirds are found only in the western hemisphere, so they are absent from the traditional fairy tales, legends, and myths of European and African Americans. There is, however, a rich supply of stories about these tiny birds in Native American mythology. A Mayan legend says the hummingbird is actually the sun in disguise, and he is trying to court a beautiful woman, who is the moon. Another Mayan legend says the first two hummingbirds were created from the small feather scraps left over from the construction of other birds. The god who made the hummers was so pleased he had an elaborate wedding ceremony for them. First butterflies marked out a room, then flower petals fell on the ground to make a carpet; spiders spun webs to make a bridal pathway, then the sun sent down rays which caused the tiny groom to glow with dazzling reds and greens. The wedding guests noticed that whenever he turned away from the sun, he became drab again like the original gray feathers from which he was made. A third Mayan legend speaks of a hummingbird piercing the the tongue of ancient kings. When the blood was poured on sacred scrolls and burned, divine ancestors appeared in the smoke.
