How the culture of north america developed with myths/ folk tales?
The native America cultures developed mythology just like every other society in the world. They did it to explain the things they saw and the things that happened to them. They asked why yesterday did the herds return? And why is there winter? The myths were created to bring reason to nature and the random events of every day life. Many Native American myths could equally be called folktales: they seem to be about ordinary people, not gods. However, the Native American attitude is that everything is animated by divinity. Hence ordinary people, animals and places are divine. Often the people are not even named, or are given a convenient tag, such as Rabbit Boy – raised by rabbits. Nor is there much attempt to characterize them. Universal principles are held to be more important than individual traits in Native American myths. Godspeed.
