Searching tips

• Another term for "origin story" is "creation myth" (and there may be other terms as well), so try different searches!
  • You can also just do a broad search for your nation and explore the official websites.
• Check YouTube for the official channels of nations or tribes.
• If you're unsure about whether the origin story is authentic, compare what you find from a few different sources. If they're all similar, chances are, they are legit!
• The general resources on the Library Resources and Online Resources pages of this guide may also be useful.
• If you have trouble searching inside the websites, look for deeper links in your Google results that come from those sites.
  • Also try the Google search trick - site:
