Native American Myths, Legends, And Folklore

Walking With Spirits

Native American Myths, Legends, And Folklore Volumes 1-6

​

Before the time of books, computers, tablets and recording devices, the history of many cultures was passed down, from person to person, by word of mouth.  The rich histories of so many people were told in songs, chants, poems and stories.

 

This was the way of Native American tribes.  Each in its own way enriching their stories with their own experiences.  By reliving these stories and songs, we have the opportunity to bring life back to the ancient spirits that created them.  We have a chance to walk with the spirits of the past.

​

Through storytelling, the rich history of the Native American tribes is alive and well today.  It has been shared and preserved and still pays tribute to fallen heroes of the past.  Often, Native Americans have been misrepresented as violent people.  It is through the glimpses into the past, and  these stories much like the ones that are contained in this book, that you can see what a proud heritage they possess and how in tune with the Earth Native Americans really are. 

 

Being there were so many different tribes with countless beliefs and customs, the only way to understand their ways is through understanding their stories.  In this book I have endeavored to show a wide landscape of different tribes and hopefully present a true look at their beliefs.

​

With these books I hope you understand the Native American people a little better and understand where they have come from and what they can offer the world.  By exploring these stories I hope to offer you a glimpse into an often forgotten past.  The past of my people.  I was born Cherokee and as a child heard many of these stories.  These stories were passed to me in the old traditional way by my grandfather.  And now I give these stories to you, to carry forward for younger generations to explore and learn. 

 

You are invited to go Walking With Spirits.
