Indian Legend印地安傳奇
美洲印第安文化雖經歷代移居與同化仍能掙扎存活至今,而所有的故事和傳說一代傳接給下一代不曾消失殆盡,這些有可能是基於他們的共通性,以及與大自然融合永無止盡的和平信念,逐年息息相關的傳遞下去的關係。既使文化和習俗上有多樣性,所有美洲印第安原住民族的信仰仍根植於萬物有靈論,這意味著他們認為宇宙跟來自大然界的精神是結合成一體的,包括動物、植物、人類、海洋甚至地球本身。這個網站有著不斷擴充成長的資源,用來保存各種原住民文化中的故事與傳說。這些古老傳說包括了Algonquin, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Chinook, Choctaw, Chumash, Comanche, Creek, Hopi, Iroquois, Lakota, Lenape, Mohawk, Navajo, Seneca, Sioux 等等部落。並請讀者在論壇上賜教。
While Native American culture has struggled to survive through centuries of displacement and assimilation, the stories and legends passed on from generation to generation refuse to die; this is perhaps due to their common, timeless message of peace and harmony with nature, which is now more relevant with each passing year. While cultures and customs varied, all Native American Indian beliefs were rooted in Animism, meaning that they believed the universe was bound together by the spirits within all natural life, from plants, animals, humans, water, and even the Earth itself. This website is an ever growing resource designed to keep the stories and legends of various aboriginal cultures alive. These legends include the Algonquin, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Chinook, Choctaw, Chumash, Comanche, Creek, Hopi, Iroquois, Lakota, Lenape, Mohawk, Navajo, Seneca, Sioux, and others.
