Brinton is a treatise on the symbolism and mythology of Native American cultures written in the late 19th century. The work aims to explore the intellectual history of the "red race" of America, focusing on their beliefs regarding God, the soul, and the sacred. It delves into universally significant questions about humanity’s earliest ideas and how these manifest through various myths and symbols across different tribes. The beginning of the book establishes Brinton's objective to analyze the authentic religious practices of Native Americans, distancing them from the influences of European ideologies. He discusses the structural peculiarities of the languages spoken by these tribes, which play a crucial role in shaping their intellectual faculties and worldviews. Brinton emphasizes the significance of understanding how myths are tied to the struggle for survival in nature, setting the stage for an exploration of various creation myths, the role of deities, and the underlying philosophies that characterized Native American spirituality.
