Ebook About If you're looking for a captivating collection of Native American myths, then keep reading...Part of the history of Indigenous cultures is, of course, their traditions of storytelling. Myths, legends, and folktales all play important roles in explaining how the world came to be the way it is, as well as giving listeners entertainment with humorous or scary stories, or giving them role models to look up to in hero tales. The author of this book has endeavored to provide at least one myth from every major culture group in North America: Arctic, Subarctic, Plateau, Northwest Coast, Great Basin, Great Plains, California, Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast Forest.Of the many different genres of story available, four are chosen for this present volume. The first has to do with the origins of things, either of the world in its entirety or some aspect thereof that was significant to the people who created the story. The other side of creation is death, and so the second section concerns tales of ghosts and monsters, some terrifying, some friendly, some the victims of prank-playing living people. However, out of the acts of destruction wrought by supernatural beings there is often something new created or a change worked that is necessary for the world to function properly.Tricksters and heroes occupy the third and fourth sections of the book, respectively. Coyote is, of course, a favorite trickster character for most North American Indigenous groups, while Raven is important to peoples in the Pacific Northwest and Arctic regions. Beaver is a trickster for the Nez Perce of the Columbia River Plateau, and for the Pomo of California, little Woodrat also lives by his wits. These tricksters are by turns clever, gullible, victor, and victim, but always there is a moral lesson to be learned from the stories of their adventures.The final section of the book presents stories of Indigenous heroes. Many of these heroes are shared by multiple cultures, usually within the same or adjacent culture areas.

Neglected by popular culture, maybe because Native Americans have so many different nations with their own mythology or because they are in a parallel society, their mythology is a bit lost, what is extraordinary considering the U.S. is culturally the most influential country in the present. But, aside some prophecies and genesis stories in History Channel, little is known about them and as so my joy when I read this book. I loved in special the myths with ghosts.Fortunately it is not an academic book, Matt Clayton organizes the myths in four chapters and with a clear and modern language; academic books tend to be dry and... well, they kill the emotion of the original stories. But if you want an academic point of view still this book would be valuable as it has interesting sources in its bibliography. The only part that could improve is the introduction to each myth; the myths themselves have been carefully written in an accessible language, but the introductions are a summary of them, so in some cases they feel like a repetition. Also, I don't know if the selected myths are a kind of anthology, or if the myths didn't survive the clash with Europe (you will find in some cases references to horses and Europeans) but the book has not many myths, what can be a plus if you only want to read something interesting as it was my case, rather than a complete overview. There are interesting stories within this book, but some of them are told in an inauthentic way. By this I mean, one tale for example started with them explaining that it took place "before white people came", but in the same story they spoke of the protagonist using lances and shields. Native americans didnt have access to lances or shields, or even metals that made those types of weapons in general (and by the time white people came to america they certainly werent using lances and shields either.)The author gets around this by starting the story with "This person from this tribe in modern day minnisotta (or whatever) told this story to me".It felt like the author dodging responsibility and not bothering to so research into the authenticity of these stories.That being said, some of these stories (especially the creation stories) were very interesting. Unfortunetly some of the later tales in this book make me question the rest of this authors sources due to the reasons I have stated.Overall this book does have some good and some bad, but it's a fairly cheap book that's a quick read which I find value in. Thats why I give it 3 stars.
