Avant l'arrivée des Blancs, la tradition orale constituait l'unique mode de transmission des contes, légendes et récits des Indiens d'Amérique du Nord. Richard Erdoes, écrivain, et Alfonso Ortiz, anthropologue, ont rassemblé un grand nombre de ces histoires léguées de génération en génération. Puisées aux meilleures sources ethnologiques du XIXe siècle ou exprimées par des voix contemporaines, ces légendes, émanant de nombreuses tribus, proviennent de tout le continent nord-américain. Les mythes de la création du monde et des êtres vivants, les récits guerriers et les figures héroïques, les fables animalières, les contes surnaturels ou les visions prémonitoires ici regroupés n'ont pas seulement pour but le divertissement ; ils donnent une forme concrète à un ensemble de croyances et de traditions, véritable miroir d'une philosophie et d'une spiritualité. Provenant du cœur et de l'âme de ces peuples longtemps méconnus, ces textes témoignent de la richesse des cultures indiennes qui n'ont pas attendu la découverte du Nouveau Monde pour exister.

Pre-Columbian Landscapes of Creation and Origin Edited by John Edward Staller, The Field Museum, Chicago, IL Pre-Columbian Andean and Mesoamerican cultures have inspired a special fascination among historians, anthropologists, archaeologists, as well as the general public. As two of the earliest known and studied civilizations, their origin and creation mythologies hold a special interest. The existing and Pre-Columbian cultures from these regions are particularly known for having a strong connection with the natural landscape, and weaving it into their mythologies. A landscape approach to archaeology in these areas is uniquely useful shedding insight into their cultural beliefs, practices, and values.The ways in which these cultures imbued their landscape with symbolic significance influenced the settlement of the population, the construction of monuments, as well as their rituals and practices. This edited volume combines research on Pre-Columbian cultures throughout Mesoamerica and South America, examining their constructed monuments and ritual practices. It explores the foundations of these cultures, through both the creation mythologies of ancient societies as well as the tangible results of those beliefs. It offers insight on specific case studies, combining evidence from the archaeological record with sacred texts and ethnohistoric accounts. The patterns developed throughout this work shed insight on the effect that perceived sacredness can have on the development of culture and society. This comprehensive and much-needed work will be of interest to archaeologists and anthropologists focused on Pre-Columbian studies, as well as those in the fields of cultural or religious studies with a broader geographic focus.
