Ceasar,
I gasped out loud reading that. THAT is so recent I'm disturbed. Glad freedom was won in the end, but omg. Also, yeah I don't believe what my family says and I'll take your word for it until I can visit myself :D
No, it was much worse. He kept trying to get me to say a prayer and I said it because I thought he was teaching me something cool, but he was like "Now you're a Muslim, welcome!" and I was like "Wait, no, I thought you were teaching me a prayer." FFS. And yes, that's essentially it. They hold the prophet Mohammed in a higher esteem than Jesus, but not really like they dislike Jesus. They love him, too, but think Muhammed is the one to follow because he is the more recent prophet.
The Egyptian to Greek to Roman mythology pipeline is so amazing, honestly. I think I don't know much about Slavic mythology besides Baba Yaga. Or at least, I think she's slavic? I will note to learn more later.
Pueblo and Navajo are two native nations here in the United States. The Navajo are plains people, and the stereotypical Indian trope is mostly inspired by them and a few other tribes. Pueblo are descendants of Aztecs and Mayans and came to the North because of war conflicts driving them away. They are not nomadic like Navajo, and build pueblos, what they're named after. Basically, three tiered homes where you can only get in by climbing a ladder. |
