Folk-Lore And Legends: North American Indian
Long before people mastered reading and writing they used to keep their legends telling them by word of mouth form one generation to another. Just 300 years ago millions of Indians inhabited the territory of North America. But Christian advocates mercilessly eliminated all the attributes of the American Indian culture, which run counter to religious dogmas of Vatican. The result was almost total loss of their cultural heritage, both written and verbal. The scientists are nothing else left to do but gather the information of the North American Indians, spared by a miracle, which can be found in folk-lore, legends and myths. This book provides the material that could be of great interest for all lovers of the mythological heritage of these people, their character and beliefs, imagination, magnanimity, moral sentiment, tender feeling, and humour.
