The mythologies of the indigenous peoples of North America comprise many bodies of traditional narratives associated with religion from a mythographical perspective. Indigenous North American belief systems include many sacred narratives. Such spiritual stories are deeply based in Nature and are rich with the symbolism of seasons, weather, plants, animals, earth, water, sky and fire. The principle of an all embracing, universal and omniscient Great Spirit, a connection to the Earth, diverse creation narratives and collective memories of ancient ancestors are common. Traditional worship practices are often a part of tribal gatherings with dance, rhythm, songs and trance (e.g. the sun dance). ==Algonquian (northeastern US, Great Lakes)== * Abenaki mythologyReligious ceremonies are led by shamans, called Medeoulin (Mdawinno). * Anishinaabe traditional beliefsA North American tribe located primarily in the Great Lakes * Cree mythologyA North American band most commonly found west of Ontario in the Canadian Prairies, although there are tribes located in the Northwest Territories and Quebec. * Leni Lenape mythologyA North American tribe from the area of the Delaware River. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
