Dictionary of Native American mythology / Sam D. Gill, Irene F. Sullivan.
Passed down from generation to generation, the myths and rituals of Native Americans form a rich religious and cultural base from which all members of each society can create and maintain a sense of community, physical and emotional health, identity, family, and self. Such traditions, preserved through stories and rites, stand as the lifeblood of every Native American culture.
