What is a “Savage”? Franklin’s “Remarks Concerning the Savages of North America” The Oral Tradition The Anasazi people and their creation story Osage and Navajo creation accounts Trickster Tales “Coyote and the Earth Monster”

“SAVAGES we call them, because their manners differ from ours, which we think the perfection of civility; they think the same of theirs.”

Why would Native Americans emphasize the oral tradition for the preservation of their beliefs and history?

Stories and traditions provided the guidelines for the entire tribe. This was their heritage; their memory. So important were these stories that story tellers were selected at a very early age to remember each and every story and to eventually relate each story many times over to the children and adults. This is how the children learned their history and the pride that went along with knowing their traditions.

An Ancient Pueblo peoples whose culture centered on the present-day Four Corners area of the United States as far back as the 12th century BC.

Their creation story is similar to those of other Native American cultures, believing their ancestors emerged from a lower world – the same one to which they would someday return.

Read the Osage and Navajo creation accounts that appear on Pages 11 and 12 of your textbook. Identify and write down – in complete sentences – two similarities and two differences between the two. When you finish, you may silently read the trickster tale (“Coyote and the Earth Monster”) on Page

Read the accounts of Cabeza de Vaca and John Smith. Think of what their reasons for writing are. Also, consider what they are writing and how that compares to our three themes of America.
