Ancestral myths are fundamental in shaping identity formation within tribes and communities as they convey the history, values, and traditions of a group. These stories provide a sense of belonging, linking individuals to their heritage and honoring the wisdom of ancestors. Myths often define social roles, cultural practices, and moral principles, creating a shared sense of purpose. They serve as vehicles for passing down knowledge and cultural norms, fostering a strong connection to the past and reinforcing the integrity of the community’s identity.
