Description

Reverence for animals and the earth is a common theme that runs through the myths of Native Americans. Many creation myths, for instance, attribute the earth's beginning to varied animals as the turtle, the waterbeetle, and the muskrat. The reverence for animals and the earth is one of many themes explored in this exciting new volume from Time-Life Books. Hundreds of photographs with descriptive text help the reader on this journey to Mother Earth, Father Sky. - from Amzon
