There has always been a connection between Native Americans and beings from other parts of the universe, referred to as Star People. Perhaps due to familiarity with celestial fixtures, it has been easier for Native Americans to relate events they have experienced on earth with things such as the formation of the Pleiades. The experience of tribal individuals with the Pleiades is featured quite proximately in legends across many tribes including Cherokee, Onondaga, Lakota and others. It is not hard to believe they would identify an event with a star, being the nature and history of tribes was to exist outdoors. The night sky would be paid much more attention by one who did not live indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the many legends and tribes you can find instances where natives are either rescued or helped by gods or Star Beings. One Lakota legend tells of seven maidens who are pursued by a bear. Just as they are about to be killed, they fall to their knees and pray for intervention. Just as the bear charges, they are lifted high into the air, and the bear is left to claw at the risen ground. The basis of this story is Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The seven maidens became the Pleiades, and the bear's claws are said to have carved the geological features of the rock. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Pleiades is also the basis of the creation of the Hopi Indians. The Dakota also speak of 'the abode of the ancestors' or Tiyami as a place of their origin. Other native oral histories, or legends, speak of an origin, in the stars generally, or other constellations. The Cree did not originate from human beings but from people from the constellations who later became humans. While others like the Lakota tell stories of beings from the skies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany prominent stories tell of the interbreeding with gods and star people and how their offspring must learn to interact and exist with the tribes. In many cases they are raised in a way that they are trained to bring a message or medicine to help the people. In some cases as PoIa, they learn of a way to help their people through rituals such as the Sun-dance which cured illness and spread prosperity through the tribe. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegardless of the tribe or the whether the interaction is through a god or star people, there is proof that the ancient people of North America believed they have been visited by unexplainable beings from the heavens. The stories in the collection tell of many different tribes and their experiences and the outcome of walking with these beings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043023552785,"sku":"NIN9781640080942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52479580963089,"sku":"NLS9781640080942","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1640080945.jpg?v=1750764104"},{"product_id":"star-people-sky-gods-and-other-tales-of-the-native-american-indians-book-g-w-mullins-9781640080935","title":"Star People, Sky Gods and Other Tales of the Native American Indians","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51043475718417,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043479159057,"sku":"NIN9781640080935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52095111889169,"sku":"CIN1640080937G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52481430585617,"sku":"NLS9781640080935","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1640080937.jpg?v=1751057798"},{"product_id":"animal-tales-of-the-native-american-indians-vol-2-book-g-w-mullins-9781647644277","title":"Animal Tales Of The Native American Indians Vol. 2","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51043709747473,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51043713024273,"sku":"NIN9781647644277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52534537683217,"sku":"NLS9781647644277","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1647644275.jpg?v=1751376569"},{"product_id":"supernatural-tales-of-the-native-american-indians-book-g-w-mullins-9781647644161","title":"Supernatural Tales Of The Native American Indians","description":"\u003cp\u003eNative American Mythology began long before the European settlers arrived on North American soil.

Whether it be the fighting of other tribes or conflicts with white settlers, their history was filled with bloodshed. In the days before the arrival of guns, battles could last days, and casualties could number in the hundreds. While eastern Indians fought almost exclusively to achieve retribution, southwestern Indians clashed with their neighbors both to avenge previous wrongs and to loot them of material possessions. In time tribal Warfare became more individualistic and therefore less bloody. It was more of an opportunity for young boys to acquire respect through demonstrations of courage. It became more honorable for a warrior to make contact with his enemy (count coup) or steal his horse than to kill him.
