In the "Time of Beginnings", people and animals were a great deal alike and could speak with one another. Then, Kovati set out to give the living things their own characteristics. For example, he created Beaver (one of the First Beings) into the first beaver by placing a mussel shell knife on his backside and created Deer into the ancestor of all deers by placing pointed shell knives on the sides of his head for ears. It's interesting that the Quileutes illustrate this procedure of transformation, having descended as a people from wolves who were … [Read More...]

Most societies have folklores and legends of witches, werewolves, Sasquatch, and creatures that walk amongst us. The Navajo Indians or Deni' people have Skinwalkers.

The Skinwalkers are the Witches Witch, the Highest Priest or Priestess who turns evil, who practice cannibalism and necrophilia, those who are no longer human - but are … [Read More...]

When I first saw Twilight I thought it was really interesting. The reason I was so interested in it because I am a Native American and I love reading and watching films about Native American stories and folklore. The funny thing is that most of it was true except the whole Vampire part. What is more interning is the fact that the author makes you wonder. Some questions you might ask yourself while thinking about the Twilight Legends are: Are there actually Vampires out there? Are they real? Could they really live like they did in the movie … [Read More...]

Quileute Stories Native American cultures spread out across the Great Plains of North America recite stories. These stories are as old as humankind and are passed down generation to generation around camp fires.

Even though the stories of the Quileute might be published in books, … [Read More...]
