Oral story telling developed long ago because they had no way of producing books or stories in written form. The Native Americans adapted this more so than other cultures, and it became part of their heritage. Even now, hundreds of years later, they have powwows and have one of the storytellers come and tell old myths and legends. Storytellers are found less and less though now and are harder to find. The storytelling evolved into myths and legends because it was in a way their entertainment to make up stories and tell them. They passed them on from generation to generation so that the stories could be heard for a long time to come. The storytellers could change the story if they wanted to, especially if it is an unknown story. You never know if it’s the original version because people change them so much. Myths and legends will forever be alive, because now they can write them down and people have access to them.
