I was having a lot of trouble deciding between the two topics I proposed last week because I am so interested in both. So, I decided to combine the two topics into one. I will be investigating the role of women in various Native American myths.
A few questions that will guiding me as I begin to research will be:
- How does the role of women in myths & legends impact the role of women in Native American society and vice versa?
- How might these myths reflect how women were viewed?
- To what extent were myths and legends viewed as truths/ how much did Native people value and respect their legends?
