Native American Mythology: Difference between revisions

Line 25:

* [[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 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 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.

* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: While the [[Did Godzilla Just Punch Out Cthulhu|Wakinyan take out the Unktehi]], humans take out Uncegila.

* [[Did You Just Romance Cthulhu]]: Some of the Lakota stories get into this range of mortals having relationships with gods. The made-for-TV movie ''Dreamkeeper'''s version of the story of Uncegila plays it straight: {{spoiler|Uncegila [[Humanoid Abomination|is implied to be the young woman who is also the old woman]]}}.

* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: Subverted: Iktomi actually manages to trick Iya, the eater of everything, into eating him, and then cuts him open and frees everyone. Probably a trope in its own right.

* [[Overly Long Gag|Did We Just List All The Tropes About Cthulhu?]]

* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: In one Apache story, Coyote demands a girl, and gets a boy dressed like a girl instead.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Uncegila. Also, the wakinyan, who have no eyes but their eyes shoot lightning; no legs but sharp talons; and no beak but their call is thunder. Seeing a wakinyan is enough to make one always do things backward.

* [[Elemental Rock Paper Scissors]]: Unktehi (water) vs. Wakinyan (lightning). Let's see which one wins.

* [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: Unktehi (water) vs. Wakinyan (lightning). Let's see which one wins.

* [[Evil Is Deathly Cold]]: Uncegila. To a much lesser extent, Waziyata, the north wind.

* [[Evil Twin]]: The Yuma creation myth features one.

Line 39:

* [[Fetch Quest]]: In an [[Always Male]] example: Kill a bunch of animals. Your female relatives use their skins to make clothing to give away as a bride price or at a party.

** [[Twenty Bear Asses]] is apparently [[Older Than They Think]].

* [[Fire Ice Lightning]]: Lakota ideas about the four directions associate the west with lightning, north with ice, east with [[Non Elemental|nothing]], and south with fire.

* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: Lakota ideas about the four directions associate the west with lightning, north with ice, east with [[Non-Elemental|nothing]], and south with fire.

* [[Four Is Death]]: Taken literally by the Sioux, who divide life into childhood, adulthood, senescence, and the afterlife.

* [[Full Frontal Assault]]: Atanarjuat, running from Oki.

Line 76:

* [[The Great Flood]]

* [[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.

* [[Turtle Island]]: The Iroquois are the [[Trope Namer]].

* [[~~Everythings~~ Worse With Bears]]: The [[Origin Story]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

* [[Fan Service]]: A lot of it, from [[Walking Shirtless Scene]] to [[Zettai Ryouiki]]--all [[Always Male|male]].

* [[Gag Penis]]: Coyote attempts to molest a woman by extending his phallus all the way through a gopher warren and up her skirt.

Line 102:

* [[Popcultural Osmosis]]: Kokopelli figurines; Eagle feathers; you name it.

* [[Proud Warrior Race]]: Plains mythology has a ''lot'' of war.

* [[Rule ~~Thirty Four~~]]: There actually is a book called ''Sex Lives of American Indians''. Everything in it's bullshit, though. For the homosexuals and [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]], there's ''Spirit and the Flesh'', where all you need to know is that there are sacred native transvestites who can't have sex with other transvestites but otherwise [[Everyone Is Bi]]. Everything else in it seems to invoke [[Rule ~~Thirty Four~~]], though. Finally, for the heterosexual females, you can just go to a powwow and watch the ladies grab a dancer's braids or lift up his loincloth.

* [[Rule 34]]: There actually is a book called ''Sex Lives of American Indians''. Everything in it's bullshit, though. For the homosexuals and [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]], there's ''Spirit and the Flesh'', where all you need to know is that there are sacred native transvestites who can't have sex with other transvestites but otherwise [[Everyone Is Bi]].

* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Depending on culture area, this can range from wearing a shirt all the time except under the blanket to [[Shirtless Scene]] to [[Walking Shirtless Scene]] to total nudity.

* [[Shotacon]]: A Pawnee marriage custom: At puberty, a boy marries his mother's brother's wife. His co-husband teaches him how to be a man, while his wife teaches him about sex.

Line 109:

* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: Many tribes call themselves the People and refer to others as pests.

* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: [[Real Life]] example: Crazy Horse.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever]]: The initial view many tribes had of Christianity.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: The initial view many tribes had of Christianity.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: As with all ''accurate'' native clothing, fanservice is almost exclusively male: A loincloth and leggings leave a little area on the legs.
