Jóhonaaʼéí -Tales From America’s South West [EPUB ebook] 

Підтримка

Dive into the enchanting world of Jóhonaaʼéí, a captivating collection of First Nations folk tales and legends from the California Basin and Southwestern nations!

This extraordinary anthology showcases a rich tapestry of cultures, revealing the diverse myths, traditions, and narratives that shape the Indigenous North American experience. With no single mythology to define them, these stories are steeped in nature and filled with profound symbolism, exploring themes of the seasons, weather, plants, animals, and the elements-earth, water, fire, and sky.

At the heart of these tales is the powerful connection between humans and the natural world, a relationship enriched by the omnipresent Great Spirit and the belief in parallel worlds both above and below us. Journey through captivating narratives featuring shape-shifters, marriages between humans and animals-particularly bears-and the enduring wisdom of sacred ancestors.

Transcribed by ethnologists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from Native American elders deeply rooted in their traditions, these myths are among the most authentic records of ancient storytelling. Meet unforgettable characters like the sacred creator and trickster, Coyote, alongside the Sun People, the Star Women, and the forces of Darkness.

Discover how the first human beings emerged from an underworld, guided by goddesses like Huruing Wuhti and Spider Woman, who created life as we know it. Explore themes of creation, the origins of tobacco and corn, and the legendary journeys of horses.

Jóhonaaʼéí is not just a collection of stories; it’s a celebration of the rich heritage and vibrant spirit of First Nations cultures. Perfect for readers of all ages, this anthology invites you to immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom and wonder of these unforgettable tales.
