American Indian Myths and Legends

Native Americans have been around for years and as many know they are very spiritual. As the reading says the Native Americans saw the landscape as Gods or amazing things that thanks to them they are able to live. The legend called “When Grizzlies Walked Upright” is a great example to the way the Native Americans viewed the world. In the legend the girl is the Native because she was very amazed by the grizzlies, just like how Natives looked the land and animals. The father was the Americans because they did everything possible to take everything away from the Natives, but they never really did. Because of this legend the Natives never killed grizzlies, and the Native Americans have a stronger culture than the Americans. As it says on the article the Native American culture is still going on especially with all these legends being passed on. While the Americans are relying on everybody else’s culture the Native American cultural has been increasing. So really the Native Americans never lost anything it was really the Americans. They tried to take away something from others because they never had that.
