Comparative Tepiman Mythology and Beyond
I examine comparative Tepiman mythology (creation and preceding events VS. post-creation) across five Tepiman-speaking groups (Akimel O'odham, Tohono O'odham, Mountain Pima/O:b No'ok, Northern Tepehuan, and Souheaster Tepehuan). There are differences (probably due to culture area effect), and similarities. Some of the similarities have significance in Uto-Aztecan cultures outside the Tepiman group.
