In Myths of the Cherokee a person from the tribe would have to learn about their ancestors/ tribe through a family or tribe historian who would orally tell them events that happened in the past, allowing then to get a better grasp on their heritage. The only downfall with this, is there isn’t a way to fully verify the authenticity of the information. The creation story that a person chooses to believe shapes the actions and behaviors a person chooses in life.

Literature and oral presentations are crucial elements in how we were able to keep creation stories from around the world. There are many creation stories that are distinct and creative in their own way and depending on which story a person chooses to believe in (if any), it has a great impact on how they view society, live their life and view the world around them.
