Reply to comment by Steak48 in How do countries that lack long, ancient histories and myths (or feel they lack it), or have lost all records of them, compensate for this loss or absence? Can these invented ancient myths become as "legitimate" as the truly old histories/myths of countries that have them? by raori921
I'm from the west (Nevada). Everyone is pretty into the local indigenous tribes' stories. More so than our own European ones. Usually the spooky ones like skin walkers and water babies. But little of the European ones except the popularized ones.

East coast here. It's not surprising at all that things would be so varied here

Ya I'm from northern California. Native history is fascinating and really interesting to learn about. California had the highest concentration of native Americans. Chico state was built basically on the ground of the of where the mechoopda village was located. To be specific, I played for the rugby club there.
My coach for a couple years worked on the reservation outside chico and apparently the rugby and athletic fields are exactly where the tribes main location was. The club now has a piece mechoopda art on the back of their jerseys. Super awesome
