American literature

---

A merican literature begins with the orally transmitted myths, legends, tales, and lyrics (always songs) of Indian cultures. There was no written literature among the more than 500 different Indian languages and tribal cultures that existed in North America belore the first Europeans arrived. As a result, Na the American oral literature is quite diverse. Narratives from quasi-nomadic hunting cultures like the Navajo are different from stories of set tled agricultural tribes such as the pueblo dwelling Acoma; the stories of northern lakeside dwellers such as the Ojibwa often differ radical ly from stories of desert tribes like the Hopi

Tribes maintained their own religions. wor-shipping gods, animals, plants, or sacred per sons. Systems of government ranged from democracies to councils of elders to theocra-cies. These tribal variations enter into the oral literature as well
