Death & Resurrection of the Thunderbird: A Wichita Story of Rebirth in Native American Mythology
Update: 2023-12-05
Description
This powerful story from the Kirikir?i:s, most commonly known as the Wichita & Affiliated Tribes (historic inhabitants of North Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas) is one that is very important today. We explore the Wichita cyclical understanding of history, from the cosmic and mythological scale to the personal, through two fascinating women and the always impressive Thunderbird.
Mythos & Logos are two ancient words that can be roughly translated as “Story & Meaning.”
