American Indian Myths and Legends Ed. by Richard Erdoes & Alfonso Ortiz

Many myths and folktales from all cultures around the world have been told and altered in order for them to have a presence in modern society. As time passes, norms change and people have different perspectives, so myths tend to be altered in order to adjust to the current society. This is a way for myths and folktales to be preserved and still be relevant. As said in "American Indian Myths and Legends Ed.", the link between the past and the present through myths is always strong. Thanks to folktales and myths, cultures and norms has been passed down and preserved and for this passage in general, Indian history. The tone of this passage seems to be against English literature. The author believes that because of white culture, Indian literature is becoming lost and misrepresented. Myths and folktales will continue to live on and although they are told in different ways, they will continue to impact society.
