Native American Magpie Mythology
Magpies play different roles in the folklore of different Native American tribes. In the legends of some tribes, Magpie is portrayed as a gossip and busybody who annoys the other animals. In other legends, Magpie is a loyal friend of humans who warns them of danger or takes up their cause in times of trouble. In Cheyenne tradition, the magpie is considered a sacred messenger of the Creator.
