520 This new selection of myths offers a broad insight into
the nature and lifestyle of the ancestral lands of the
Native American tribes that once stretched from the tip of
Alaska, down to the Bay of Mexico. Hundreds of languages,
with traditions and folkore, grew independently across the
continent, flourishing in deserts, mountains and lush
valleys of a vast land. The loss of such ancient
traditions is a reminder of the damage humans can wreak
through ignorance, desperation and greed, as settlers from
Europe swept imperiously across the newly discovered, but
long-populated lands of the so-called New World. From 'The
Great Deeds of Michabo' to 'The Legend of Hiawatha', from
trickster creator-deities, heroes and supernatural beings
to epic voyages and an affinity with animals, there is so
much to discover in this comprehensive new book.
