Current Issue Older Stuff ... Stuff -by Soapsuds They are building a monument to John Adams. I It's very unlikely that anyone would take my advice, even if I were in a position to offer it. Monuments aren't supposed to look like that, after all. No matter. I'm pleased enough that they're building one for Adams, period. John Adams is my favorite among the players of the American Revolution, in part because until recently his contributions have been minimized, ignored, or misunderstood. There are reasons for this. Adams' contributions were behind the scenes, and blended with the efforts of others: he did not command troops, like Washington, or pen a document of historical significance, like Jefferson. And he was nobody's idea of a hero. Short-tempered, irritable, rude, irascible to the point of prompting rumors of mental instability, Adams did not and does not embody the calm, benevolent, and wise "founding father" image. He was still living when that particular mythos began to take shape, and he knew at the time he was not a part of it. "Monuments will never be built to me," he wrote in one of his bitter moods. I'm pleased he was wrong. The recent surge in Adams interest and Adams popularity may be due to David McCullough's excellent biography. It came out around the same time as Joseph Ellis'

Guajara in other languages: Spanish Deutsch French Italian American mythology The founding of the United States is often translated as myth . A mythology is simply a story of some sort which has emotional, cultural, moral or ethical value to a nation. Taken broadly, then, American mythology can include any narrative which has contributed to the shaping of American values and belief systems. These narratives may be true and may be false; the veracity of the stories is not a determining factor. Three founding myths include: Christopher Columbus, the Pilgrims, and George Washington. Christopher Columbus Though Christopher Columbus did not participate in the founding of the American government, he has been interpreted as a "founder" of the American nation, in that it is descended from the European immigrants that would not have moved to the New World if Columbus had not found where it was. 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.

tentaclelist Chronological Find Thread TENTACLE: American Mythology - Call For Art From: Laughing Squid Subject: TENTACLE: American Mythology - Call For Art Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 09:47:23 -0700 American Mythology - Call For Art ArtWorkSF and RhinoLoveScratch Art Productions announce a call for artists for their first collaborative show. TITLE OF SHOW: American Mythology THEME OF SHOW: Ancient civilizations such as the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Celts and Norse are all well known for their mythology and cast of gods. These and other civilizations used myths to explain or rationalize aspects of their society or the universe. Myths told how the world as created, explained natural occurrences like the rising and setting of the sun and the changing of the seasons, and delineated the relationship between the gods and humans, or nature and humans. The gods that took center stage in these mythological systems often displayed human characteristics such a love, jealousy, pride, anger, and sadness. Also, these gods were generally the "god of" something - love, war, wine, the earth, the sky, youth, death... If you were an anthropologist from a thousand years into the future looking back at the United States today, what kind of mythological system would you see? Who are the gods of the American pantheon - musicians, artists, actors, politicians, athletes? What would be the relationship between the gods and the humans? The relationship between the gods? What stories would American mythology tell? How were different facets of the American life created?

Cambridge Guide ... Opinion American Mythology: The separation of church and state By Garry Grundy Published: Thursday, February 5, 2004 WHILE AMERICA MAY NOT proclaim to have a national religion, it certainly nurtures and has sought to preserve a national mythology. Guidelines for this utterly nuanced national religion might be found in the lyrics of "America the Beautiful," or in the soaring words of Malcolm X or Abraham Lincoln. A religious history replete with martyrs, saints and sinners - it's no wonder that (according to a Fox News poll) 92% of Americans believe in God; 85% in heaven; and 82% in miracles. But like most New Englanders, front-runner John Kerry doesn't wear his religion on his sleeve. Neither does orthodox Jewish Senator Joe Lieberman - in real life, a moderate New England politician - Joe has no doubt down-played his Jewish heritage in this particular election in exchange for a more mealy-mouthed secularism. Oddly enough, this tactic differs little from the Job-less, Gen-Xers that make up the disenfranchised Dean wing of the ailing and soul-less Democratic Party. Nonetheless, there is an important distinction between the many New Englanders running for president and the most viable Southerner running for president.

The Origin of the Iroquois Nations Iroquois About 1390, today's State of New York became the stronghold of five powerful Indian tribes. They were later joined by another great tribe, the Tuscaroras from the south. Eventually the Iroquois, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, and Cayugas joined together to form the great Iroquois Nation. In 1715, the Tuscaroras were accepted into the Iroquois Nation. The Five Nations Long, long ago, one of the Spirits of the Sky World came down and looked at the earth. As he travelled over it, he found it beautiful, and so he created people to live on it. Before returning to the sky, he gave them names, called the people all together, and spoke his parting words:

The International Gentlemen's Society Very hush, hush. Main April 22, 2004 Important Creator of American Mythology Gentlemen, Coming off the heels of a rather serious day of contemplations on our site, I almost hate to comment on a topic that 3/5 of the IGS will find unimportant, but with the latest trend in movies over the last few years, I think it MUST be voiced! I'm talking about a man who has done more over the last one hundred years of providing American Mythology than perhaps any other memeber of our great country. I'm talking about Stan Lee. Now, I'm a DC man, and Stan is the father of DC's greatest rival, Marvel, but you cannot deny his genious. He created the following: X-Men Daredevil Spider-Man The Hulk The Fantastic Four (movie in production as we speak) Iron Man (movie in production as we speak) Thor Dr. Strange The Avengers These are just a few of HIS creations. It's not even mentioning all the wonderful characters he had a hand in exploding to popularity! Take Captain America, for instance, or the Sub-Mariner. Most of these characters have become icons of our country just like apple pie, baseball, and Superman. On top of all that, he's a reallly nice guy.

by Ron Cherry E.R.E.C., ( bibliography P.O. Box 8003 Belle Glade, FL 33430 USA. Butterly Kachina Blackfoot Symbol Awatobi Symbol Hopi Buterfly Dance Because of the beauty, power of flight, and complete metamorphosis found in butterflies an moths, these insects frequently are found in Native American myths. In an early article, Grinnell ( ) called attention to the belief held by the Blackfeet that dreams are brought to us in sleep by a butterfly. Their sign for a butterfly was a design roughly in the shape of a maltese cross with one arm horizontal and the other verticle. This sign was painted on a lodge to indicate that the style and method of painting the lodge were taught to the lodge owner in a dream. It was also the custom for a Blackfoot woman to embroider the sign of a butterfly on a small peice of buckskin and tie this in her baby's hair when she wishes it to go to sleep. At the same time, she sings to the child a lulaby in which the butterfly is asked to come flying about and put the child to sleep. Grinnell did not learn why or how the butterfly bring sleep and dreams. However, he did note that the Blackfeet stated that the butterfly is soft and pretty and moves gently and that if you look at it for a long time you will go to sleep. The butterfly was also a prominent figure in the myth and ritual of the Hopi. This insect occurs frequently on prehistoric pottery, in a ritual "

79. Native American Spirituality Essay about landbased spirituality, creation mythology and immanence. http://www.greenspirit.org.uk/resources/NatAmerSpirit.htm

TOPIC: Native American Spirituality Editor Donna Ladkin The papers relating to this topic are: Carol Lee Sanchez. Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. Jack D. Forbes. Indigenous Americans: Spirituality and Ecos Introduction to the Topic There were over one thousand different tribal peoples indigenous to the North American continent when Europeans first arrived in that territory. Each tribe had its own set of festivals, rituals, and spiritual beliefs, therefore to write of 'Native American spirituality' as one entity would be erroneous. However, common features are apparent across tribal peoples, pointing to some of the assumptions which inform the spiritual beliefs and practices of those indigenous to the North American continent . Spirituality played a central role in the lives of many of these peoples, for as Angie Debo writes: he [the Indian] was deeply religious. The familiar shapes of earth, the changing sky, the wild animals he knew, were joined with his own spirit in mystical communion. The powers of nature, the personal quest of the soul, the acts of daily life, the solidarity of the tribeall were religious, and were sustained by dance and ritual. This piece attempts to highlight some of the key aspects which Native American peoples share in terms of their spirituality. There is much that has been written in this area, and the brief list of suggested books I offer may provide a starting point for those wishing to pursue this area further.

Gainesville, Fla.: University Press of Florida, 2001. The fin-de-siecle The fin-de-siecle (pronounced FAN-da see-eck-la, it means "the turn of the century") was a time of great social upheaval and cultural change for the women of America who inhabited a world that was neither of the nineteenth century nor the twentieth. Composed of three distinct generations of American women, the Modernist Era was one which saw some of the greatest literary production by women writers in our history.  The first generation of modernist women writers were born during the crisis times leading up to the Civil War and came of age during the American awakening in the cultural tumult of Reconstruction.
