Plains Indian Mythology is a book of stories some passed down orally. The stories are grouped in 4 sections; The creation of the world, tales that teach ways of behavior, stories on Europeans visiting North America, and yarns from the current day.

I thoroughly love reading about mythology from different colonies and histories of how the world was created. It is interesting how so many different countries and races can have similar but yet different stories. This also happens with the many opposed plains Indians.

The newer tales were not as intriguing as the creation of mythologies. They did not seem like a story it just like someone babbling.

I continue to read lore of different colonies and the magic and folklore because it has made me realize how alike all humans are. Plus mythology is fun. (
