Native American Mythology began long before the European settlers arrived on North American soil.  The most popular of these myths usually are the ones dealing with Creation Myths and Origin Tales of people, places and things.  These myths deal with both how the physical world as we know it came to be and how the many features of specific cultures originated.  They cover areas of gods and man and why we were separated, where did the different races come from, and when did evil surface.

 

Being there were so many different tribes with countless beliefs and customs, the only way to understand these beliefs is through understanding the Native American stories. In this book there is a wide landscape of different tribes that present a true look at these beliefs.
