Legends and Folklore Through the years stories have served to provide man with a way of passing on their heritage, their values, and can tell the story of the development of whole cultures. These were particularly important before man had written language. The history of a civilization was passed down from generation to generation by such stories. Much can be learned about a people from their folklore and legends. Below is a small sampling of Native American stories, excerpted from StoneE's Weblodge. Many more fascinating tales and information can be found at his site on the links page. "Earth Making" Earth is floating on the waters like a big island, hanging from four rawhide ropes fastened at the top of the Sacred four directions. The ropes are tied to the ceiling of the sky, which is made of hard rock crystal. When the ropes break, this world will come tumbling down, and all living things will fall with it and die. Then everything will be as if the earth had never existed, for water will cover it. maybe the white man will bring this about. Well, in the beginning also, water covered everything. Though living creatures existed, their home was up there, above the rainbow, and it was crowded. "We are all jammed together," the animals said. "We need more room." Wondering what was under the water, they sent Water Beetle to look around. Water Beetle skimmed over the surface but couldn't find any solid footing, so he dived to the bottom and brought up a little dab of soft mud. Magically the mud spread out in the four directions and became this island we are living on - this earth. Someone Powerful then fastened it to the sky ceiling with cords.

The Alsea Creation Stories The Cherokee Creation Stories The Iroquois Creation The Tlingit Creation The Zuni Creation The Iroquois were actually not a people, but a federation of six Native American nations: the Cayuga, Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, and Tuscarora. In terms of power, they were perhaps the most formidable Native American group in North America, and the most represented in the imaginative works of the European settlers, controlling at their zenith a territory covering Massachusetts to Ohio and Quebec and Ontoario to Kentucky. They are famous in the "captivity" literature, stories about the kidnapping of European settlers, of the early settlers and make their most forceful entrance into American history by siding with the French in the French and Indian Wars. These nations, like most Native American nations on the east coast, were largely exterminated by this century. Their stories, however, lingered in traditions passed along by a very small group of people; the creation story here narrated was recorded early in this century.

73. Native American Folklore Of Mount Shasta by a number of native American groups, and the special relationship has caused the mountain to play a significant role in their customs, myths, legends, and http://www.siskiyous.edu/shasta/fol/nat/

Folklore Native American Traditional Prose Narratives There is no doubt that Mount Shasta has long been viewed as a sacred place by a number of Native American groups, and the special relationship has caused the mountain to play a significant role in their customs, myths, legends, and folktales. In an unpublished U.S.F.S. report titled " Native American Historic Context: Mount Shasta California ," Winfield Henn provides an excellent review of the literature relating to the historical importance of Mt. Shasta to local Native Americans (1991). In another unpublished U.S.F.S report, Theodoratus and Evens clearly show that the mountain remains a sacred entity today ( "Statement of Findings: Native American Interview and Data Collection Study of Mount Shasta, California" 1991). We have included the full-text versions via the links above for those wishing to further examine local Native American groups and their relationship with Mount Shasta. Also, while this page contains links to full-text tales, there are a couple general points worth considering before you read the narratives. First, although there are a quite a few traditional prose narratives that have been collected from local Native Amerian groups, it is sometimes impossible to know whether the tale in question is a myth, legend or folktale. According to Brunvand, myths are "traditional prose narratives, which, in the society in which they are told, are considered to be truthful accounts of what happened in the remote past." Further, myths most often deal with "the activities of gods and demigods, the creation of the world and its inhabitants, and the origin of religious ritual." Legends, like myths, are also regarded as true by the teller, but legends are often secular, set in the historical past, and most commonly assign humans the major narrative roles. A narrative regarded as fictional by the storyteller would be termed a "folktale" (Brunvand 1998).

Babies were carried in baskets, meals were prepared and cooked in them, worldly goods were stored in them, and people were buried in them. Today, baskets serve as markers of cultural pride and inheritance. Basketry is a living art. To help illustrate continuity from past to present, each weaver chose four baskets from the Smithsonian collections and paired them with baskets from their own or other Native basket-makers’ contemporary works. These juxtapositions and the weavers’ thoughts on what they tell us, are presented in “The Weavers’ View.” Links on the top navigation bar and side navigation bars lead to a wealth of information and lots of images of baskets.
