BISAC: Native American Legends
​
In Native American history, there are many legends about UFOs, gods and aliens. There has always been a connection between Native Americans and beings from other parts of the universe, referred to as Star People. Perhaps due to familiarity with celestial fixtures, it has been easier for Native Americans to relate events they have experienced on earth with things such as the formation of the Pleiades. The experience of tribal individuals with the Pleiades is featured quite proximately in legends across many tribes including Cherokee, Onondaga, Lakota and others. It is not hard to believe they would identify an event with a star, being the nature and history of tribes was to exist outdoors. The night sky would be paid much more attention by one who did not live indoors.
Through the many legends and tribes you can find instances where natives are either rescued or helped by gods or Star Beings. One Lakota legend tells of seven maidens who are pursued by a bear. Just as they are about to be killed, they fall to their knees and pray for intervention. Just as the bear charges, they are lifted high into the air, and the bear is left to claw at the risen ground. The basis of this story is Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The seven maidens became the Pleiades, and the bear's claws are said to have carved the geological features of the rock.
​
The Pleiades is also the basis of the creation of the Hopi Indians. The Dakota also speak of 'the abode of the ancestors' or Tiyami as a place of their origin. Other native oral histories, or legends, speak of an origin, in the stars generally, or other constellations. The Cree did not originate from human beings but from people from the constellations who later became humans. While others like the Lakota tell stories of beings from the skies.
Many prominent stories tell of the interbreeding with gods and star people and how their offspring must learn to interact and exist with the tribes. In many cases they are raised in a way that they are trained to bring a message or medicine to help the people. In some cases as Poïa, they learn of a way to help their people through rituals such as the Sun-dance which cured illness and spread prosperity through the tribe.
Regardless of the tribe or the whether the interaction is through a god or star people, there is proof that the ancient people of North America believed they have been visited by unexplainable beings from the heavens. The stories in the collection tell of many different tribes and their experiences and the outcome of walking with these beings.

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 Origins of people, places and things.

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.

Native American history like others in history was scattered with stories of war. Whether it be the fighting of other tribes or conflicts with white settlers, their history was filled with bloodshed. In the days before the arrival of guns, battles could last days, and casualties could number in the hundreds. While eastern Indians fought almost exclusively to achieve retribution, southwestern Indians clashed with their neighbors both to avenge previous wrongs and to loot them of material possessions.
In time tribal Warfare became more individualistic and therefore less bloody. It was more of an opportunity for young boys to acquire respect through demonstrations of courage. It became more honorable for a warrior to make contact with his enemy (count "coup") or steal his horse than to kill him.
In This book is a collection of war related stories and others that create a history of the North American Indians. While the stories are sometimes graphic and contain much killing, they depict a true vision of history.
Among the stories included in the collection are: The Origin of Medicine, The Warlike Seven, The Warrior of High Cliff, Warriors of the Rainbow, The War Medicine, The False Warriors of Chilhowee, The Last Shawano Invasion, The Shawano Wars, Hatcinoñdoñ's Escape from The Cherokee, Escape of The Seneca Boys, Two War Trails, The Death of Head Chief and Young Mule, A War Between the Alabama And the Choctaw, War between Senecas and Cherokees, The Legend of the Apache Tear, Origin of the Sacred Arrow, A Widow’s Revenge, The First War, and many more.

Cherokee people like all other Native American Indian tribes possess a huge oral history. Before the time of written words, the history, customs and skills of a tribe were passed down through word-of-mouth and storytelling. Today, it is still an important part of Cherokee life. Elder tribe members use stories to teach morals and culture to children and others while keeping a rich history alive.
Storytelling also allows people to get to know one another. The stories of the Cherokee people make us unique, but stories will be known only as long as they are told. When someone ceases to tell a story, part of our cultural knowledge is gone.
Under old traditional law, these tales or stories were only told to fellow Cherokee or other Indian People. Many of these stories contained within this book were recorded by James Mooney who lived with the Cherokee in the 1800's. These include animal stories, creation myths, legends, and ghost stories, as well as, historical events such as the Trail of Tears.
These stories have been passed from generation to generation and as with tradition, and have been left as much intact as possible. I learned many of these stories from my grandfather as a child, just as other Cherokee children did. As with tradition, these stories are now shared with you, to go forward and share with a future generation.
In this collection, you will find such stories as Origin of the Pleiades and the Pine, What Became Of the Rabbit, The Rabbit Dines the Bear, The Rabbit Escapes from the Wolves, The Rattlesnake's Vengeance, The Red Man and the Uktena, The Eagle's Revenge, Agan-uni'tsi's Search for the Uktena, The Hunter and Selu, The Snake Boy, The First Fire, The Lost Cherokee and many, many more.
