Myths
are known all over the world. Some cultures worship myths, they believe in
the stories they tell. A myth is a traditional story, or a legend. Native
Americans have something they call mythic times. Mythic times are "where
things are not as they are here, and historical time, similar in most
respects to contemporary
life."
The Native
Americans did things differently than we do now. People would get really
involved with myths if they took place in the mythical times. Telling
common characteristics to the world is even more effective than your telling
people what really happened. Although to cover all of this there are people
who say them. These people are called shamans. To them myths are stories
that are sacred. The myths are mostly about heroes and how people found
the homeland.
