Native American myths |
Who
could describe the creation myths and fairy tales of the native Americans better
than an native American woman named "Wagmuhawin. It is a Dakota and has collected in its 76 years of living fairy tales and fables of their tribe. In her old age she has exhibited in Germany under the title: "The world will never be published. In the U.S., however, it is not come for publication. The
reasons are obvious: Native Americans are still
an absolute taboo. The systematic extermination of the whites, who fueled
the Holocaust, is repressed.
The native Americans culture itself is a pure oral culture. That is, all the myths, legends and fables have been handed down from generation to generation. The messages are compelling and fascinating man is good, but almost anything goes without solidarity, the strong, the bear, is nothing without the tricks of the weak, the rabbit. Humor, wit, and the game are basic cultural elements of Native American children. In many stories play as well as Native American cartoon characters play an important role: there are, for example, the smartly and supernette coyotes or the strong, clever, lazy and devious spider man - figures that the native Indianscall "trickster" human animal mythical creature that has the American entertainment industry, that is, animation studios like Disney, deliberately made their start as a model, that is, ie: Spiderman, Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse are actually of native American origin. Considering the procedure of the so-called missionaries can come one, the horror. Indian children has been unsparing of purgatory, hell and tells the one nailed to the cross of Jesus, so they scared and traumatized again fled home. Then begins one of the native Americans grandmothers, the children of the native American world view and its cosmology to explain in terms of the world will never end, and of that there is a heaven of sex, good food and a high entertainment in there will come every native American. Some need longer, however: who has done something wrong, to be first must be reborn as a child and detention. So can the world ever, because there will always be lazy children. |
