Excerpt from Myths and Symbols, or Aboriginal Religions in America Now, this is a mere summary, but it shows that there were many different forms of religion and dif ferent systems of mythology, on the continent of North America, and that they all corresponded to the geographical surroundings. The origin Of these religions and the different stages through which they have passed, is another point, but so far as they have been studied, the systems all were closely con formed to the geographical situation. We are not able to trace any of these systems back to a very early period; certainly no such early period as existed in the lands Of the far East, but we do find an adapta tion to the surroundings, which are quite as striking as any that can be traced in other lands.
