Well, the Cree creation story is a truth of it's own.

It is a type of mythology. Myths are necessary, and they work they're way into our popular conscienceless. As a society, we accept them as a type of truth. And they are such.

Myths, themselves, are changeable as the need dictates.

That's probably the best reply to one of the "other" creation stories I have posted. Thank you!

I have a very through understanding of the necessity of myths, types of myths and how myths have permeated our culture.

Even today, there is much confusion between myth and reality. It;s quaint to look at ancient myths and wonder our our ancestors believed such things. But we do the same thing today - just different myths. You know the "Superbowl Sunday" domestic violence myth? That is "truth" to millions of Americans.

Why? Because they need it to be so.

The way our brain works - the way we organize reality, we need myths.
