Journey into the ancient world of the Mewan Indians of California, where myth and reality intertwine in captivating tales. The Dawn of the World reveals the rich mythology of the FIRST PEOPLE, mystical beings who roamed the land before humans existed.
These stories brim with magic, recounting their quests for fire, epic battles, and miraculous survivals. Through these narratives, we encounter themes of selfishness, jealousy, and transformation, as the FIRST PEOPLE ultimately become the animals and natural objects around us.
The Mewan myths explain the origins of thunder, lightning, rainbows, and other natural phenomena. Clinton Hart Merriam's collection offers a profound exploration of these ancient tales, providing timeless insights into the beliefs and values of the Mewan tribes.
