Prehistoric Native
Americans lived before history was recorded in writing. The tribes
would depend upon storytellers to pass their heritage down to the "little
ones" or the children of the tribe. In the telling of tales, many
things can be taught or learned. This is one of the ways that many tribes
kept their cultures alive; it was not just a collection of stories, but
of their beliefs, their ways, and their lives. If it wasn't
for storytellers who would tell the little ones? How would they learn of
their past? What was it like to be a storyteller? You're about to find
out.........
Listen to some Native American stories here. |
