The transformation myth is very much a part of Native American culture. ‘One version translates into English as skinwalkers. Another version comes out as shape shifters.’ Officer Jim Chee remembers the time he was told about sheep being bothered by a shape shifter, a wolf, who quickly turned into an owl and flew away. Evidently, shape shifters can even turn themselves into inanimate objects.

Technically it’s a myth that keeps it’s story characteristic but the names of the people or legends transform as they are translated into different languages, or retold by different cultures
