Most American Christians grew up with a conventional image of the http://home.earthlink.net/~wchess/ncuu/archives/AMERICAN_MYTHOLOGY.htm

AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY: IN POLITICS AND RELIGION by ROBERT E. WILLOUGHBY I have a vivid memory of an evening spent in the home of a man and his wife who had been my mentors and an inspiration while I was a young student at Yale Divinity School, preparing for the ministry. That evening, he and his wife literally unfolded their lives to me in the conversation and storytelling that ensued. There were repeated phrases like, “Do you remember?” ... and “We used to” ... and “I’ll never forget ...“ I realize now that it was not just storytelling. It was the sharing of personal mythology. It’s how we make sense out of our lives and give events significance. it parallels the myth-making of the human racethe ritual of remembering. It parallels the great themes of the myths of religion and national and ethical life. These myths often contain universal themes that tie us to all humanitypast, present, and future. But there are also myths that have ossified, are dying and no longer speak to a present time because they have tried to perpetuate loyalty to a petrified tradition, to sanctified stupidity and muddled thinking. If there is a theme for this message it is this. Some myths are dying. Some myths remain because they are as old and basic as life itself. Some new myths are being born, about what it will mean to live in one interconnected global community. All people throughout history have had a mythology, legendary stories and narratives attempting to explain their ideals, beliefs, history, and origins. These myths have also centered in their heroes and religious beliefs. The American Indians spoke of a Great Spirit at work in all of nature. Asian myths spoke of how a people came to be. Greek myths told stories of gods and goddesses who symbolized the functions of nature and of life.

Arthurian Babylonian Celtic Egyptian ... Other Native American: North Gods Animal Symbols Northern Gods Southern Gods Inuit Gods ... Pawnee AWONAWILONA (Pueblo Indians) "The One Who Contains Everything." The Supreme God, the Creator of All. Before the creation there was only Awonawilona; all else was darkness and emptiness. Both male and female, Awonawilona created everything from himself and taking form became the maker of light, the Sun. BREATHMAKER (Seminole) Breathmaker taught men to fish and dig wells, and made the Milky Way. When the virtuous die, they follow the Milky Way to a glorious city in the western sky. COYOTE (Southwestern Indians, but known in other areas as well) A trickster, a clown. The creator and teacher of men. Like Loki, Coyote is always lurking about, causing trouble and playing pranks. To the Zunis, Coyote is a hero who set forth the laws by which men may live in peace. The Pomo Indians maintain that Coyote created the human race and stole the sun to keep them warm. The Montana Sioux say that Coyote created the horse. GAHE Also GA'AN (Apache) Supernatural beings who dwell inside mountains. The can sometimes be heard dancing and beating drums. Because they can heal and drive away disease, they are worshipped. In the ritual dances of the Chiricahua Apache masked dancers painted a different color for each point of the compass represent all the Gahe except the Grey One. The Grey One, though he appears as a clown, is really the mightiest of all the Gahe.

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.

Then along came the Palefaces. The Red Indians are no longer Red as that might imply Communism, athough their tribes were very communal - and still are on the reservations they've been 'preserved' on. Ironically, many Palefaces have since become Rednecks. But whichever way you look at it, judging people by color is very unwise. But before all this happened, the many native tribes of what was still to become America had all the space in what was their world. They made good use of it, living close to nature and treating life as a camping holiday with teepees and hunting lodges. There was so much in the way of free-range food, you left it alone until needed. Animals had powerful spirits and placation was necessary if you ate them. When corn came by courtesy of the deities, it was also given its due measure of respect. Heaven was the Happy Hunting Ground, much the same as Earth but with better weather.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" THE FROG IN NATIVE AMERICAN MYTHOLOGY WHEN FROG STOLE THE WATERS BY DR. ANDERSON Two Review "My interest in John's books connects with my work as a story teller. His writings help me to 'think' about Chumash folk tales from new perspectives. I am especially pleased with this new book, because it brings forward the rich symbolism of the frog in native California lore." Pilulaw Khus, Chumash Elder and story teller in Santa Barbara schools, Southern California This book "takes the reader on an exciting adventure into the field of Native American folklore. Following the tradition of Joseph Campbell and John Peabody Harrington, Anderson draws from a wealth of authentic stories, legends, and oral histories recorded from respected tribal elders. Everyone should read for themselves and their children the folklore series of Dr. John Anderson. This book delves into the symbolism of ancient frog stores from around the world. Like a skipping stone, the reader is whisked away to savor legendary samplings from California, Washinton, and Oregon, as well as along the Atlantic seabord and across the water in Europe. His multicultural approach helps people share in a greater sense of global heritage." The Frog and Water Symbolism "After reading this selection of Frog narratives, the reader cannot help but be impressed with the primary importance of the Frog in native American folk lore.

Information about Native American mythology can be found in the appropriate heading in mythology Vodun and related topics are also dealt with on a separate page. A mythology is simply a story of some sort which has emotional, cultural, moral or ethical value to a nation.

Indeed, one particularly pervasive myth is that Columbus discovered America, as it is far easier to heroify a man than a complex series of waves of immigrants from multiple conditions and walks of life. According to some stories, Columbus sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in order to prove that the world was round, because he expected to reach the Far East by sailing west. Like most mythological "founders" Columbus' mission is then rendered entirely noble, intellectual and rational. He helped dispel the inaccurate myths of his time, and, so, it is concluded, the nation he founded must be a nation of intellect and logic.

Last Updated: Wednesday, December 8, 1999 South American Mythology Although the gods are split into Inca and pre-Inca, there are civilizations which had no writing and if they affected any of the people who followed them, no one gives these predecessors credit. It is likely that most of the Inca's skill in pottery, cultivation of maize and stoneworking came from these prior civilizations. The Chavin These people about 3000 B.N. (before now) lived in northern Peru. They built huge ceremonial centers in the high mountains. The Nazcas Living for more than a millenium in the costal desert areas of south Peru, they are famous for the more than 100 huge drawings of birds, animals, and geometric shapes into the hard coastal desert floor. Some people speculate this means visitation by U.F.O's. It actually means that Nizca's were drawing pictures which only their gods could see (where are the gods?...up there, a universal human response). And actually Nizcams themselves may have been able to see with sharp eyes these scupltures from surrounding mountains. To draw something without being able to actually see it from the view you are are sketching it from is no remarkable skill for intelligent people. On a lesser scale, some people are amazed when they fly over Christian churches and find that they are all in the shape of a cross. Perhaps the builders of these churches had help from U.F.O.'s The Moche At the time the Nazcas were making their drawings on desert floors, these people of the coast of northern Peru built stone pyramids, and also portrait vases, textiles, jewelry and ceramics, all of good quality.

While it contains much in the way of Native American tradition, it should not be confused with the actual tribal beliefs of any real band, nation or community of native people. American Folklore, rather, is that strange fusing of European ideals of "civilization" with a European obsession with the "exotic" and the "savage." Anyway you slice it, American Folklore is essentially about immigrants and their misunderstanding of each other, and of the new landscape they found themselves conquering, and of the people that had already been there when the first "white men" arrived.
