Coyote and the Columbia: From Native American Myths at Americanfolklore
From the Sahaptin/Salishan Tribes retold by S. E. One day, Coyote was walking along. "I would like a cloud," Coyote said. So a cloud came and made some shade for Coyote. "I would like more clouds," he said. "How about some rain," said Coyote. "More rain," Coyote demanded. "I would like a creek to put my feet in," said Coyote. "It should be deeper," said Coyote. The creek became a huge, swirling river. "I'm not dead," Coyote told them, and they flew away. That is how the Columbia River began.
Native American Proverbs, Quotes, and Chants
The Native Americans (also known as the Indians or the American Indians) are the original inhabitants of the Americas (North, South and Central America including the Caribbean / West Indies Islands; all of which is also called the New World or the Western Hemisphere). Origins Some scientists and archeologists believe that the Native Americans were people who originally came to the Americas from Asia around 13,000 BC, but possibly as early as 33,000 BC. This was a time when there was much more dry land on the earth than there is today, including a land route from Asia to North America. Other groups contend that Native Americans do not derive from Asian immigrants. Early Native American Life Very early groups of Native Americans were probably hunter-gatherers who formed small groups of about 30 people, and frequently moved. Spreading Throughout the Americas Various groups of Native Americans spread from North America to other parts of the Americas. General Life Children and Adolescents Shooter
Chief SpiritShadow
I am Chief Spirit Shadow of the The Three Spirit Clan of Free Cherokee. I have not always been known by that name. I was born and raised in the hills of southeast Ohio in the land of the beautiful river. My ancestors crossed that river into this part of the state of Ohio. Like many migrating Cherokee, they took on white names that represented the four directions or some other common term - last names like North, South and Newman. Like the Cherokee of the 19th century, these people assimilated into society as it existed in the early settlement days. Even as a child I knew there was something different about me. I was raised in white society and in a Christian religion. We eventually became part of a Native American clan nearby and for years participated in ceremony. Our clan is like an extended family. I have a high school education and a degree in Accounting, but much of what I learn comes from experience and inter-acting with others. We have welcomed many into our clan.
