Book description
I love to read mythology books. It enriches our understanding of the cultures of other people, because through the mythology, folktales, and religion of a particular people we get to see their inner worlds. Everyone has an inner world, and any race with a genuine tight bond among each other has, effectively, a shared inner landscape.Understanding other races of the earth helps us understand our own race, because it is only through contact with the Other that we understand ourselves. If everyone was naturally predisposed towards thought instead of action, nobody would know he is a thinker instead of a doer. But because a thinker meets a doer, he knows that he is one instead of the other. Similarly, I come from a background that hails deities who are either sovereign over natural phenomenon, beyond natural phenomenon, or who embody ideals such as Justice, Strength, Purity, etc. Whereas the Native Americans have stories about talking animals and people who turn into animals who teach people about ceremonies necessary to make it rain or to have a successful hunt. All of their myths have the theme of natural phenomenon, and a lot of them deal with how or why certain animals act the way they do. They are closer to nature than I am. Its not MY heritage, its someone elses - and that helps me understand my own. But in order for this to work its also necessary for you understand your own, but thats a rant for another day. Also, someones heritage/culture is not better than someone elses, though of course all people will naturally consider their own to be better than someone elses since it resonates more powerfully with them. Myths also enriches the imagination. Myths will always permeate our minds and the stories that we tell regardless of rather or not we acknowledge their power. Plus, some of them can be genuinely spiritually moving and reading/hearing them can be an exercise in intuition (just like how math is an exercise in reasoning). To quote joseph campbell, Myths come from the same realm as dreams and A myth is a public dream, a dream is a private myth. This particular book is not a complete collection. It doesnt contain every myth of the North American Indians (that book would be massive, and compiling it would be impossible) and I think there is too few of a selection here. It only skims the surface. The book begins with a simple and interesting introduction that explains that the Native Americans are not one unified civilization, but rather a diverse population of tribes who all had different lifestyles depending on where they lived (and North America is a diverse landscape!) with Eskimos in the north living in a different way than the horse riders of the Great plains, who live quite differently from the tribes living in what we know call Florida (who, because of the landscape, focused on the gathering part of hunting and gathering). Because of this, as the introduction points out, the myths are very different from one place to another. However, one can still find the underlying themes of the native american mythology. Just as, as in numerous comparative religion and mythology scholars have pointed out, the mythologies of the celts, the greeks, the romans, the norse, the slavs, etc are all very similar- but also different - and it is easy to find the similarities. I found this introduction the best part of the book and a perfect way to start this collection of myths. Each myth that was re-told began with a blurb of where the myth was found and short information about that tribe, which goes to show the incredible diversity of people who existed on the pre-colonial North American continent. The stories themselves are told rather matter-of-factly, which is both good and bad. Its good because that way I am more certain that the myths are not being tampered with to add more pizzazz (as Hollywood often does to greek myths, or as publishers of mythology books for children often do, sadly). Its bad because often the myths can be made boring by that form of storytelling, and a myth should be anything but boring. I think a good collection-of-myths book should tell myths in such a way that they contain a balance of this is actually how the traditional story goes, including the confusing parts that dont make sense to our modern minds and let me tell you this in a way that will appeal to you and entertain you. I understand that the people who colloborated to write care about the integrity of the stories quite a lot, but this book is marketed to children 10-12, and I fear that someone that age may lose interest fast. My favourite stories were Sedna, the witch under the sea, the girl who married a bear, scar face and the sun dance Hasjeltis dance and The Hummingbird Brothers. Each story also contains pencil drawings, and there are 18 paintings littered throughout the volume. In my opinion, if a book, especially a book like this, has illustrations in it it should enhance the story. It should make me even more absorbed, help me feel the atmosphere more, make my imagination come even more alive. The pencil drawings all do that. They are done in an authentic North American Indian way. The paintings are a mixed bag. Some of them are great and add to the story, but some of them are, quite frankly, unappealing. The bad ones are either too dull or the people have weird faces. In fact, the illustrator is bad at painting faces. Overall, this is a great book for someone starting to get an interest in mythology (and all people should, especially the younguns!). For someone a little more experienced in mythology-reading it is not recommended. I have three other books from the World Mythology series that I look forward to reading and reviewing.
