  Searching through the annals of North American history uncovers the diverse and astounding contributions by the Natives of the Americas who formed the world we know today.
  		 
  In the Shadow of Our Ancestors explores the rich history of the indigenous peoples of North America and leaves us in awe of their stunning achievements and inventions:
  		 
  The Great Law of Peace — The ideals, words and symbols of the Iroquois Confederacy inspired the governments of the New World to form democracies that recognized, in their constitutions, the rights of all people.
  		 
  Potatoes — The lowly potato, a staple food of Natives for almost 15,000 years, was unknown outside the Americas until Europeans arrived; now, with almost 4000 varieties, it is the fourth most-consumed agricultural product in the world.
  		 
  Sacagawea — The settlement of western North America was inspired and influenced by the results of the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s, with the journey’s success made possible because of a Native woman named Sacagawea, whose presence paved the way for the explorers to be seen as a peaceful party.

  Chinese mythology is a rich and intricate tapestry of stories, legends, and beliefs that have shaped the cultural and spiritual landscape of China for millennia. These myths not only entertain but also convey moral lessons, cultural values, and historical narratives that resonate deeply with the Chinese people. In a society where tradition and heritage are highly esteemed, mythology plays a vital role in connecting individuals to their past, providing a framework for understanding their identity and place in the world. 
  The role of mythology in Chinese culture extends beyond mere storytelling; it serves as a lens through which people view the cosmos, nature, and humanity's place within it. Myths explain natural phenomena, the creation of the world, and the origins of important cultural practices, creating a sense of continuity and belonging across generations. Characters such as the Dragon, a symbol of power and auspiciousness, and the Jade Emperor, a central deity in Taoist cosmology, exemplify the deep-rooted connections between mythology and cultural identity. These figures embody qualities that the Chinese people aspire to, reinforcing ideals of strength, wisdom, and harmony.
