Star People, Sky Gods and Other Tales of the Native American Indians

📖 The Scoop

In Native American history, there are many legends about UFOs, gods and aliens. There has always been a connection between Native Americans and beings from other parts of the universe, referred to as Star People. Perhaps due to familiarity with celestial fixtures, it has been easier for Native Americans to relate events they have experienced on earth with things such as the formation of the Pleiades.  The experience of tribal individuals with the Pleiades is featured quite prominately in legends across many tribes including Cherokee, Onondaga, Lakota and others.  It is not hard to believe they would identify an event with a star, being the nature and history of tribes was to exist outdoors.  The night sky would be paid much more attention by one who did not live indoors.

Regardless of the tribe or the whether the interaction is through a god or star people, there is proof that the ancient people of North America believed they have been visited by unexplainable beings from the heavens.  The stories in the collection tell of many different tribes and their experiences and the outcome of walking with these beings.
