​ORAL TRADITION

Early Native American tribes did not have a written language.  The beliefs, lessons, and history of the nation were passed down using oral tradition.

Oral tradition is the use of story telling to provide:

• lessons on how to be a good person
• legends for how or why things were created
• history of the tribe
