One of the beautiful things about oral histories is what happens when you learn how they fit together. For instance, among the Flathead of the West is the story of a Lake Monster. Lemlmts for sharing this story.
Lemlmts Danyelle :) I had heard a similar Lakota story, but haven’t heard the Flathead one. By the way, you always have a lot of insight to share, so you or an elder or storyteller you know and trust would be willing to share some stories firsthand, I would love to host an interview to give a platform; there’s only so much that I can do being a step removed and going from writings. No worries if you wouldn’t feel comfortable with that, but thought I should extend the invite ♥️ There’s an email address on my channel page if you ever want to put something together.
Thank you, Bjorn! I was struck by how powerful this story was when I read it, too, and researching the Wichita & Affiliated Tribes was very worthwhile.
I love coyote stories. I always feel sorry for the coyote cause he always gets the blame. But he’s always fearless. He’s a fantastic animal and I love the thunderbird he can be anything he wants to be too. Thanks for sharing.... ⚡️
Thanks Richard! I knew you would like the Thunderbird/Phoenix parallels, and chatting about the story with you helped me arrange the thoughts together, too :)
Great story. I know it in another way, but chief thunderbird is always very powerful and wise..... What beautiful pictures..... That's food for the soul..... MitakuyeOysin. Tom.
This story, and the history, definitely meet that combination. Add in a bit of “amazing” for our ability to still have these stories and the still-living culture available today :)
That’s a very great question! I live on land on which the Wichita historically roamed, so I do think that it’s important for me to pay respects to those who were here before; helping keep the voices alive for future generations to hear. It’s a small part, but one I like to play :)
A great, and very important question! I view mythology as meaning “traditional symbolic stories” coming from the Greek words that make up this channel’s name, “Mythos” meaning “story” and “Logos” meaning “intelligibility, pattern, or meaning.” There is no relation between this channel’s use of the word “mythology” and the modern use of “myth” meaning something that is untrue.

Very powerful and informative to say the least 😮

Well said! Always fearless, sometimes too much so, and always getting the blame. Coyote sounds a lot like us indeed.

I understand this but I wonder what is your story in all of this b/c you have one. What is mythology Mr Mythos if we can't influence it?
That’s a very great question! I live on land on which the Wichita historically roamed, so I do think that it’s important for me to pay respects to those who were here before; helping keep the voices alive for future generations to hear. It’s a small part, but one I like to play :)
One of my spirit animals is the Thunderbird bird. It sounds like me.

What do you people mean by mythology ?
A great, and very important question! I view mythology as meaning “traditional symbolic stories” coming from the Greek words that make up this channel’s name, “Mythos” meaning “story” and “Logos” meaning “intelligibility, pattern, or meaning.”
There is no relation between this channel’s use of the word “mythology” and the modern use of “myth” meaning something that is untrue.
