{{cleanup|For a page about "various Native American mythologies and Oral Tradition", there's a lot of examples from Lakota lore and not very many examples from lore from other nations. This needs to be fixed by adding more examples from other nations.}}
General Information on various Native American mythologies and [[Oral Tradition]]. Obviously, this page covers an enormous variety of different cultures, but they're grouped together here for convenience.
Line 7 ⟶ 8:
* [[Inca Mythology]]
See [[
For the [[Hollywood History]] version, see [[Magical Native American]] and [[Mayincatec]].
{{tropenamer}}
* [[Turtle Island]]: From the creation stories of the Lenape and the Iroquois.
{{tropelist|Tropes commonly associated with Native mythologies include:}}
Line 20 ⟶ 24:
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: No tribe's mythology has an established canon.
* [[Creation Myth]]: Done to hilarious extremes in that many cultures have multiple creation myths.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Uncegila, Uncegila, Uncegila. For those not familiar, Uncegila is a sea monster whose look can kill. Initially, the victim is [[Eye Scream|blinded]]. A day later, he [[Go Mad
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Iktomi. Oddly, his most depraved behavior is with women.
* [[Did Godzilla Just Punch Out Cthulhu]]: Wakinyan versus Unktehi. Bonus points because the Unktehi and Uncegila have a water motif.
* [[Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?]]: Winkte (with the double woman) and heyoka (with the Wakinyan) do this in their visions.
* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Since plains warriors have a habit of [[Calling Your Attacks|announcing their deeds]], they tend to do this when fighting monsters too.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: While the [[Did Godzilla Just Punch Out Cthulhu|Wakinyan take out the Unktehi]], humans take out Uncegila.
Line 43 ⟶ 47:
** In some versions, he borrows someone else's.
* [[Genius Loci]]: Constantly. Many areas are sacred or taboo because of such.
* [[Go Mad
* [[Hijacked by Jesus]]: To use a Lakota example, Wakinyan (thunder) became angels, Wohpe became the Virgin Mary, and the Pipe became Christ. Many Indians follow a mixture of tradition, Christianity, the peyote ceremony (largely Christian-based), and the Ghost Dance (which has Mormon influences).
* [[Ho Yay]]: Look up 'winkte'. Also other examples.
Line 75 ⟶ 79:
* [[Trickster Archetype]]: Coyote, Raven, Iktomi, Rabbit
** Kokopelli's [[Popcultural Osmosis|family-friendly]] picture is the trope image. His [[Memetic Mutation|wanted poster]] reads: Charges: despoiling maidens, seducing wives, [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|and gambling]]. Sometimes travels with horny woman, who calls herself Kokopelli-mana. May have been involved in the bankruptcy of Pueblo Bonito in the 13th century. He has a very big... flute which is always prominently depicted in traditional artwork.
* [[Twincest]]: In one Eskimo story, the moon rapes his sister, the sun. Also [[Rape as Drama]].
* [[Vagina Dentata]]: Done literally in one Ponca myth.
Line 91 ⟶ 94:
* [[Adam and Eve Plot]]: Common to any origin tales.
* [[Badass Long Hair]]: Are you a plains Indian male with a traditional haircut? This is you.
* [[Biggus Dickus]]
* [[Canon Discontinuity]]: The "matriarchal" Sioux when complete matriarchy doesn't exist.
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: The [[Origin Story]] of [[wikipedia:Devils Tower National Monument|Devil's Tower]] in Wyoming involves one or more gigantic bears trying to kill frightened children and the Creator raising the tower up under the kids to save them.
