Book excerpt: Si busca una fascinante colecci?n de mitos de los nativos americanos, siga leyendo... Parte de la historia de las culturas ind?genas es, por supuesto, sus tradiciones de contar historias. Los mitos, leyendas y cuentos populares juegan un papel importante en la explicaci?n de c?mo el mundo lleg? a ser como es, as? como entretener a los oyentes con historias de humor o de miedo, o darles modelos a seguir con los cuentos de h?roes. El autor de este libro se ha esforzado por proporcionar al menos un mito de cada grupo cultural importante de Am?rica del Norte: ?rtico, Sub?rtico, Meseta, Costa Noroeste, Gran Cuenca, Grandes Llanuras, California, Suroeste, Sureste y Bosque del Noreste. De los muchos g?neros diferentes de historias disponibles, se han elegido cuatro para este volumen. El primero tiene que ver con los or?genes de las cosas, ya sea del mundo en su totalidad o de alg?n aspecto del mismo que fue significativo para la gente que cre? la historia. El otro lado de la creaci?n es la muerte, por lo que la segunda secci?n se refiere a las historias de fantasmas y monstruos, algunas aterradoras, otras amigables, algunas v?ctimas de bromas de personas vivas. Sin embargo, de los actos de destrucci?n llevados a cabo por seres sobrenaturales, a menudo hay algo nuevo creado o un cambio que funciona y que es necesario para que el mundo funcione correctamente. Embaucadores y h?roes ocupan la tercera y cuarta secci?n del libro, respectivamente. El coyote es, por supuesto, el personaje favorito de los embaucadores para la mayor?a de los grupos ind?genas de Am?rica del Norte, mientras que el cuervo es importante para los pueblos del noroeste del Pac?fico y las regiones ?rticas. El castor es un embaucador para los nez perc?s de la meseta del r?o Columbia, y para los pomo de California, la peque?a rata de madera tambi?n vive de su ingenio. Estos embaucadores son a su vez inteligentes, cr?dulos, vencedores y v?ctimas, pero siempre hay una lecci?n moral que aprender de las historias de sus aventuras. La ?ltima secci?n del libro presenta historias de h?roes ind?genas. Muchos de estos h?roes son compartidos por m?ltiples culturas, generalmente dentro de la misma ?rea cultural o en ?reas culturales adyacentes. Mitolog?a nativa americana: Mitos fascinantes de los pueblos ind?genas de Am?rica del Nortele invita a realizar un viaje sorprendente y descubrir los siguientes mitos: Or?genes Fantasmas y monstruos Cuentos de artima?as Cuentos de h?roes ¡Y mucho, mucho m?s! ¡Adquiera este libro ahora para aprender m?s sobre la mitolog?a de los nativos americanos!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers explore the rich worldview of the Native Americans through myths and legends. Tales originating from various tribes functioned in a number of important ways: they explained the story of creation, described the relationship of humans to the rest of the universe, and preserved the sacred history of the tribe. In addition, myths and storytelling helped Native Americans pass on knowledge related to hunting, fishing, farming, healing the sick, and dealing with conflict or disaster. This book also places their mythology in historical context, for example, connecting earth myths with the Native Americans real-life, tragic struggle to preserve their lands. Filled with colorful photographs and works of art, Native Americans beliefs are beautifully illustrated, including their reverence for animals and the earth.
