Native American Mythology Welcome to Mrs. Pitlik's Native American Mythology Webpage. In my class I cover the creation and coyote myths. Below I have written a bit about the topics. I hope that you find these myths interesting and enjoyable. information from http:www.pantheon.org/mythica/articles/c/coyote.html There are many different myths about creation in Native American Mythology. In almost every nation the people had a desire to know where they came from and how they came to be. Then they come up with their own beliefs about the creation of humans and the world. The Creation of Mankind according to Hopi tradition: Spider woman gathered the earth , this time of four colors, yellow, red, white and black; mixed with tuchvala, the liquid of her mouth; molded them; and covered her white-substance cape, which was creative wisdom itself. She sang over them the creation song. When she uncovered them, these forms were the image of Sotuknang. Then she created four more in her own image. They were wuti, female partners for the first four male beings. When she uncovered them they came to life. This is just one myth from the hundreds of different beliefs to how and where Native Americans have come from. I hope that you enjoyed the Hopi Indian creation myth. !!!

46. American Mythology It is the mission of this book to expose and debunk some of the moreprevalent myths of accepted American history. This is a fun book. http://amprpress.com/AmMyth.htm

Unlike every other book or manuscript that we offer this is the only one that is neither theological nor scriptural in its subject matter. It deals exclusively with issues of secular history. However like all the others it is written in the interest of truth. Errors creep into secular history as easily as they creep into men's theology. And once fossilized and accepted as history they acquire a mythological status that raises them above criticism as it were. It is the mission of this book to expose and debunk some of the more prevalent myths of accepted American history. This is a fun book. It is interesting and fascinating reading. It shows us that as far as history is concerned " political correctness " has been with us for centuries. It demonstrates the fiction of many of the famous episodes in American history and replaces it with the facts. This book would entertain anyone with an interest in history and one need not be an armchair historian to enjoy it. It would be especially of benefit to home-schoolers. After all if your going to reject the public schools and their canned curriculum why not do the job right? And unfortunately most of the home school curriculums parrot the historic myths with great fervor. Traditionalism wins out over truth! The book includes chapters on the following subjects and more - Who really discovered America Plymouth Rock -The actual first settlements in North America.

They came from Siberia and spread out forming communities in many different places. They each had to adapt to the environment in which they settled and so their stories and mythologies varied. There are however tales which seem to appear in most, if not all these societies. Vision Quest Many Native Americans believe that each person has a guardian spirit, a helper who guides them and assists in the hunt, but this guardian is not apparent to them until they reach puberty. Therefore, at the age of 13 or 14, children (more often boys) are sent out on their vision quest. They go to a remote place, and attempt to make contact with their personal spirit. They will fast and pray in silence for days and in some cases, injure themselves to bring them closer to the spirit world, and achieve their vision. When they finally reached this level they supposedly saw their spirit before them, often in the form of a bird or animal. Some children became seriously ill around this time, they claimed that the spirits had come to them, and they had received sacred knowledge and healing. These individuals became the 'shaman' of the group.

Plasma Physics: 1014 and Meso-American Mythology Charles William Johnson The states of matter are solid, liquid and gas. But, there is another state that has become recognized as that of plasma. William Crookes (1879) identified this fourth state of matter, plasma. "Ionized gas", plasma, was first used by Dr.Irving Langmuir in 1929, although he introduced the concept in 1923.. Plasmas are basically independent of their chemical properties and are defined more by their densities and relational temperatures in terms of conservation of energy, momentum laws, and the behavior of their electrons. Number densities or the number per unit volume (n) and their kinetic temperature (T) are thus defined for each of the particles present therein. Natural plasmas are cited as being the Sun, the interstellar space, the intergalactic space, the Earth (planets), Metals, etc. In a sense, then, there is hardly any matter left in the Universe that does not exist as a plasma according to scientists today. The significance, then, of any numbers related to the composition of plasma would be extremely significant to our studies. And, there is one particular number regarding plasmas that has caught our eye. The aspect regarding plasmas as a state of matter-energy concerns that of its high density, which is shown to reflect

American Mythology RBHS Main Mancoff Main Freshman Main Introduction ... Conclusion Introduction: As you've progressed through our mythology unit, you've read many classical myths about gods, goddesses, heroes, and the creation of the world. However, one common misconception about myths is that they are "someone else's" stories. In other words, we tend to believe that myths apply to other cultures, not our own. Therefore, this assignment will challenge that idea and ask you to consider the following: what myths shape American culture? And what do those stories say about us and our values? Task: Research and review common American folktales. Using the information you've gathered, write a research-based, persuasive essay answering the following: What do American folktales reveal about the morals and values of modern American culture?

Native American Mythology Your task is work with a partner to create a presentation which compares a Native American folk tale, myth or legend with a popular myth from another culture - Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Early Christian, Asian, African or European. 1. First read pages 20-25 in your Elements of Literature anthology. 2. Next, choose a Native American myth or legend. One person will present the Native American folk tale to the class. In Native American tradition, stories, legends and history were passed down through oral tradition; there were no written documents. Often, storytellers would illustrate their tales with drawings on cave walls or clothing, and even in dirt on the ground. They never read the stories. Instead, the shamans, or storytellers, would engage their audience by telling the folk tale with emotion using different voices, facial expressions and gestures. I expect you to do the same. You are to use a four panel story board as a visual aid during the presentation and supplement your telling with appropriate music, photographs or artifacts. 3. The other partner will present a comparison of your Native American myth or legend to a myth or legend from another culture. They will share an explanation of how the two stories deal differently with a similar theme or event.
