Explanation:

The I 66 legends recorded here come from the heart and soul of the

native people of North America. Some have been told for thousands of

years, and they are still being told and retold, reshaped and refitted to

meet their audience's changing needs, even created anew out of a contemporary man's or woman's vision. They arise out of the earth-the

plants, herbs, and animals which are integral parts of the human realm.

They are imbedded in the ancient languages and flow according to the

rhythms of the natural world-a different pace indeed from that of a

technological, man-made environment. Most industrialized people, eycs

ever on the clock, fragmented by the pressing problems of a split-second,

microchip society, have little time or indination, it seems, to speculate

on the communal nature of the universe. Mutually shared and supportive legends about the beginning and end of the world (and what

happens in between) seem hopelessly beyond their vision.

The native American, following the pace of "Indian time," still lives

connected to the nurturing womb of mythology. Mysterious but real

power dwells in nature-in mountains, rivers, rocks, even pebbles. White

people may consider them inanimate objects, but to the Indian, they are

enmeshed in the web of the universe, pulsating with life and potent

with medicine. As Ernst Cassirer has written, "The mythical world is at

a much more fluid and fluctuating stage than our theoretical world . . .

The world of myth is a drama tical world-a world of actions, of forces,

of conflicting powers. In every phenomenon of nature it sees the collision

of these powers. Mythical perception is always impregnated with these

emotional qualities."*

The world of the Pueblo Indians is bounded mythically and geographically by four sacred mountains, where holy men still go on pilgrimages
