Summary

This revealing work introduces readers to the mythologies of NativeAmericans from the United States to the Arctic Circle-a rich, complex, anddiverse body of lore, which remains less widely known than mythologies of otherpeoples and places. In thematic chapters and encyclopedia-style entries, Handbook of NativeAmerican Mythology examines the characters and deities, rituals, sacredlocations and objects, concepts, and stories that define mythological culturesof various indigenous peoples. By tracing the traditions as far back as possibleand following their evolution from generation to generation, Handbook of NativeAmerican Mythology offers a unique perspective on Native American history,culture, and values. It also shows how central these traditions are tocontemporary Native American life, including the continuing struggle for landrights, economic parity, and repatriation of cultural property. With more than 40 photographs, illustrations, and maps, here is the mostcomprehensive and accessible introduction to the mythological heritage of NativeNorth Americans available in one volume.
