Indigenous mythology refers to the traditional stories, beliefs, and practices of Indigenous peoples around the world. These narratives often explain the origins of the world, natural phenomena, and the relationships between humans, animals, and the environment. Each culture has its unique set of myths, which can include creation stories, hero tales, and moral lessons. These myths are often passed down orally through generations and are integral to the cultural identity of Indigenous communities. They may involve deities, spirits, and ancestral figures, such as Coyote in Native American traditions or Pachamama in Andean cultures, reflecting the values and teachings of the respective societies.
