Resumo

This special issue of _Ethnohistory_ presents four essays that explore the complex relationship between history and myth. The authors argue that indigenous narratives, often dismissed as mere "myth" by Western scholars, offer valuable insights into Native American historical consciousness and experiences. They challenge conventional approaches to history by emphasizing the importance of understanding indigenous epistemologies and narrative traditions. The essays examine a range of case studies, including the Iroquois, Ojibwe, and Lakota, demonstrating how Native historical narratives can be used to reconstruct past events, challenge colonial interpretations, and assert cultural survival.
