They would have to be invited by the story teller to hear the stories. They would first have to go the medicine man for preparation. The Medicine man would then perform a scratching ceremony on them. He would scratch their arms from shoulder to wrist with a comb, made from the teeth of a rattle snake. A red healing powder was blown over the marks that the comb made on their arms. Now, they were able to hear the stories of the myth keeper. In a small dome shaped earthen covered hut. The stories would last all night and into the morning, until Sun appeared in the East. Then they would go to the river. Each person would dip themselves seven times under the water while a Shaman would recite prayers from the bank of the river. The stories were passed down from generation to generation. It is said that the true myth keeper can become the animal about whom they speak. It is also said that myth keepers have to be actors, singers, dancers. There are many roles to being a myth keeper Stories Bluebird and Coyote Creation How We Got Fire The Wisemen The First Woman Spearfinger The Old Man And The Wolf Clan The Little Deer White Buffalo Miracle Warriors The Cedar Tree Five Races of Man Ghost of the White Deer Ghost Dance A True Story Strawberry Story The Wolf & The Indian Sign My GuestBook View My Guestbook Email Next Realm Back to Pages Go Home You Are Vistitor # This site was created and is maintained by TigerEyes.
