Native American Mythology Unit Table of Contents Introduction Activities Resources Archived Work ... Culminating Campfire Activity Introduction This unit ideally takes place from "Columbus Day" through Thanksgiving. Experiences such as a field trip to The Museum of American Indian Culture and silent "stream of consciousness" sessions in the woods on campus preceed classroom lessons. To enable the children to experience nature as the early inhabitants of our NE woodlands, we take our students to a nearby wooded area. They bring with them a book we've dubbed "Bits and Pieces," a scrapbook-type collection of pre-writing brainstorms, outlines, quotes, pictures, articles, etc. The children record all of the sights, sounds, thoughts, sensations, and imaginings as they sit in the woods for a 30-40 minute period. This experience helps the children establish settings for the myths they will eventually write. They are often surprised at how poetic their pieces sound. Some are turned into " woods poems ."

The American Mythology “Maybe as I grew up I unconsciously decided that, even if it wasn’t an ideal world, it should be and so painted only the ideal aspects of it- pictures in which there were no drunken slatterns or self-centered mothers, in which on the contrary, there were only Foxy Grandpas who played baseball with the kids and boys fished from logs and got up circuses in the back yard.” - Rockwell in Marling 1997 (p13) Freedom From Want (1943) The perfect family is a cultural construction; it consists of two parents and lovable kids living in a cozy home with a white picket fence. We all experience an ultimate desire for this unattainable ideal because it is a part of our common culture. This is dangerous because it forces people to strive for something that can rarely be achieved, and in doing so threatens to psychologically destroy those who attempt to conform. For example, the life of Norman Rockwell demonstrates this perfectly. His desire to be anything other than what he was growing up - that is, living in the city and facing the harsh realities of life - forced him to live in a delusional world. He wanted his perfect family. While losing himself in his dream world and artwork, Rockwell's wife, who was forced into the role of the “ideal” woman/mother, was drawn into alcoholism and finally a suffered a nervous breakdown. “ ‘Rockwellian’ has become an all purpose adjective for innocence and apple pie America.”

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. Washington Irving is the first citation for this myth.

Native American Myths Grade Level: 4-6 Background Objectives Standards Materials ... Resources Background Archeological evidence indicates that Native American tribes lived in the Yellowstone area almost 10,000 years ago; a major trail these tribes used for tracking bison goes right through the park. Some of the tribes that traveled or lived nearby include the Shoshone, Bannock, Blackfoot, Flathead, Nez Perce, Utes, Crows, Piegans, and Paiutes. Imagine what Native Americans must have thought when they first saw the park's geysers, mudpots, and hot springs! As in other cultures, Native American culture is rich in myths and legends that were used to explain natural phenomena that they didn't understand. The most common myths are the creation myths, that tell a story to explain how the earth was formed. Others include explanations about the sun, moon, constellations, animals, seasons, and weather. In this lesson, students will review some of these myths and then write their own myths to explain how the geologic features of Yellowstone came to be.

Scholars need to resist American mythology about war Robert Jensen School of Journalism University of Texas Austin, TX 78712 work: (512) 471-1990 fax: (512) 471-7979 rjensen@uts.cc.utexas.edu The Review of Communication, 1 (2001): 226-229. by Robert Jensen review of Jeffery A. Smith. War and Press Freedom: The Problem of Prerogative Power New York: Oxford University Press, 1999. viii + 324 pages. Notes and index. $45 (cloth); $19.95 (paper). I liked War and Press Freedom (page 227) challenge to power. Anti-democratic, yes, but not paranoid, except perhaps in the way that all people who hold power in unjust systems are in some sense paranoid about losing it. (page 228) Republicans alike, in part to allow these policies of control to go on. It is a disservice, I think, to frame Cold War suppressions of expression as an unfortunate byproduct of this frenzy. (page 229) of U.S. war crimes. It would have required no access to battlefields to point out that U.S. attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure far from the Kuwaiti theater were blatant violations of international law. My advice: Read War and Press Freedom , but read with a critical eye that keeps that question in mind.
