Native American History

There were many indigenous people already living on the entire North American continent when the first European explorers arrived. They had long ago divided into several distinct groups, each with its own customs and specific way of life. Questions about these Native peoples and their interaction with the early explorers - and, later, with the Colonists - belong in this category.

Are there any examples of Jumano Indian Folktales?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, one example is the legend of the Great Rabbit or Trickster Rabbit, which is a common figure in Jumano folklore. This rabbit outwits other animals through cleverness and cunning. Another story is "The Legend of the Corn Maidens," which tells the tale of how the Jumano people received the gift of corn from the Corn Maidens.

What is a ta-na-e-ka?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is the name of a fake Kaw (Kansa) native American ceremony invented by a deranged white male pretending to be a native American woman, calling himself Mary Whitebird, in a very poorly written book. Everything about it is fake, false and pure imagination. It has nothing at all to do with the real Kaw tribe or Kaw religion and is nothing but nonsense - such stories should by law have to carry a prominent warning that they are fiction and do not reflect genuine native traditions.
