3 Telling Stories Native American Mythology Myths and rituals play a central role in traditional Native American cultures Early Native American tribes passed stories down through oral tradition (telling stories verbally instead of writing them down). They were important in giving people a sense of order and identity. They gave people a way to ensure food, explain the unexplainable heal the sick, and teach lessons. As a result of the oral tradition, there are often many versions of a single myth. Native American myths were often derived from ceremonial songs and prayers, hero tales, explanations of things in nature, migration stories, historical stories, and poems. erican%20creation%20myths%20basic%20notes.pdf

10 Emphasis on the Spiritual Native American myths often emphasize a strong spiritual bond between the creator, humanity and the natural world. It s the duty of humanity to maintain a balance between these entities. Among all tribes there is a strong sense that behind all individual spirits and personifications of the divine, there is a single creative life-force, sometimes called the Great Mystery, which expresses itself throughout the universe, in every human, animal, tree and grain of sand.
11 Role of Animals in Native American Myths Animals often speak to humans and assist them. Most tribes thought that individual members of a species embodied a particular spirit power.
12 Role of the Four Directions in Native American Myths The Four Directions (North, South, East, West) are often given powers, which occur either literally or in symbolic form throughout the stories. often represented by particular colors, or by animals. All Four Directions must be in balance for all to be well with the world.

The man and woman were created from the corn and the buckskin. The corn & deer are basic foods which provide life for the Navajo.

31 Totem poles are an ancient tradition of the Indian tribes of the Pacific Northwest Coast--Washington state in the USA, British Columbia in Canada--and some of the Athabaskan tribes of southern Alaska. Contrary to popular belief, the Southwest Indians, Plains Indians, and Inuit never carved totem poles (think of how there are no trees big enough!) Native American totem poles are not only aesthetically pleasing; they are also culturally significant to the indigenous people who made them. Native American totem poles can be a symbol of the history of a family or of the whole tribe. They can also be a record of traditions, legends, or spiritual stories. Native American totem poles are hand carved from large pieces of wood. They usually contained themes and were covered with pictures of animals. They often sat in the center of a family s tent and if they had to be moved only a man could carry it. In other cases the poles were placed outside of the tents as a status symbol.
32 A totem is actually an animal guide that is assigned to an individual; a totem pole is a piece of wood that is carved with a person's totems. Native Americans tradition states a person is assigned nine animal guides that provide spiritual direction both in this life and the next. Among these nine is one main guardian spirit that is designated as the totem animal. This guardian can convey wisdom and direction only if a person recognizes the animal and understands how to communicate with it.
