		Mythology figures prominently in most religions, and most mythology is tied to at least one religion.
		Stories from scripture are usually not referred to as mythology except in a pejorative sense, but one can speak of a Jewish mythology, a Christian mythology, or an Islamic mythology, in which one describes the mythic elements within these faiths without speaking to the veracity of the faith's tenets or claims about its history.

		Black Elk later commented that the Queen addressed the Lakotas and told them they were the "best-looking people she had ever seen." The fact that the Queen immediately asked for a meeting with the Indians after the performance is an important indication of the magnetic attraction of the Lakota people in the Wild West.
		The electric vision of the yellow Lakota warrior chasing Buffalo Bill as he drove the Deadwood Stage triggered something deep in young Dorothy's aesthetic instincts and she rebelled against the luxury and privilege in which she found herself and demanded to be allowed to become an artist.
		The Yellow Lakota's thunderbolt presence had somehow dramatically struck, imprinted and inspired five-year-old Dorothy Brett that May afternoon in 1887, mysteriously imbuing her with the promise of the perpetuation of significant Native American religious ceremony half a world away and nearly a century later.

	Field Ecology in a Cultural Context
		Noted by Lakota mythology to be the origin of the universe, the park became the location of our field ecology course that focused on woodpecker habitat selection and fire ecology.
		Woodpeckers are also noted by Lakota Sioux to be important members of the animal community due to their habitat of excavating cavities; these cavities provide homes for multiple animals that live in the forest.
		In Lakota mythology, woodpeckers are important because their cavities provide homes for a range of forest “stewards,” and through observations, students were able to see the cavities are used as homes for a variety of animals.
