African and Native American Trickster Folktales

Here it talks how ancient stories have been so popular around the world specially those from tricksters. African and native american stories have big similarities, they use animals as main characters and sometimes they play the same type of problems, although non of them is totally the same; each story shows the characteristic of each culture and how they used to teach each others by telling stories for example grandparents to grandchildren. In México we used to have the same kind of traditions, telling legends one to another or fables in which you always learn something. The problem now days is that the children and their parents are not longer interested in this kind of traditions or they have no time or we are just in a different century where these traditions are staying as old traditions
