Native Americans in the United States have historically had extreme difficulty with the use of alcohol.
 Problems continue among contemporary Native Americans; 12% of the deaths among Native Americans and Alaska Natives are alcohol-related.
 Use of alcohol varies by age, gender and tribe with women, and older women in particular, being least likely to be regular drinkers.
 Native Americans, particularly women, are more likely to abstain entirely from alcohol than the general US population.
 Frequency of use among Native Americans is generally less than the general population, but the quantity consumed when it is consumed is generally greater.

A flood myth or deluge myth is a narrative in which a great flood, usually sent by a deity or deities, destroys civilization, often in an act of divine retribution.
 Parallels are often drawn between the flood waters of these myths and the primeval waters found in certain creation myths, as the flood waters are described as a measure for the cleansing of humanity, in preparation for rebirth.
 Most flood myths also contain a culture hero, who "represents the human craving for life".
God is Red: A Native View of Religion, by Vine Deloria, Jr. (Standing Rock Sioux), is a nonfiction book that discusses traditional Native American religious views, particularly their relation to Western Christianity.
 It also details the hardships faced by Native Americans as their country was quickly flooded with foreigners eager for land and other resources.
 Deloria links the anthropocentrism of Christian orthodoxy and subsequent American economic philosophies with increasing environmental upheaval.
 Deloria also explains how religious views are rooted to "place" as opposed to being universal.
Noah's Ark (Hebrew: תיבת נח‎ ‎ ; Biblical Hebrew: "Tevat Noaḥ") is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6–9) by which God spares Noah, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals from a world-engulfing flood.
 According to Genesis, God gave Noah instructions for building the ark.
 Seven days before the deluge, God told Noah to enter the ark with his household and the animals.
 The story goes on to describe the ark being afloat for 150 days and then coming to rest on the Mountains of Ararat and the subsequent receding of the waters.
 The story is repeated, with variations, in the Quran, where the ark appears as "Safina Nūḥ" (Arabic: سفينة نوح‎ ‎ "Noah's boat").
 The Genesis flood narrative is similar to numerous other flood myths from a variety of cultures.
 The earliest known written flood myth is the Sumerian flood myth found in the "Epic of Ziusudra".
The Gilgamesh flood myth is a flood myth in the "Epic of Gilgamesh".
 Many scholars believe that the flood myth was added to Tablet XI in the "standard version" of the Gilgamesh Epic by an editor who utilized the flood story from the Epic of Atrahasis.
 A short reference to the flood myth is also present in the much older Sumerian Gilgamesh poems, from which the later Babylonian versions drew much of their inspiration and subject matter.
Vine Victor Deloria Jr. (March 26, 1933 – November 13, 2005) was a Native American author, theologian, historian, and activist.
 He was widely known for his book "Custer Died for Your Sins: An Indian Manifesto" (1969), which helped generate national attention to Native American issues in the same year as the Alcatraz-Red Power Movement.
 From 1964 to 1967, he had served as executive director of the National Congress of American Indians, increasing tribal membership from 19 to 156.
 Beginning in 1977, he was a board member of the National Museum of the American Indian, which now has buildings in both New York City and Washington, DC.

 According to the Wikipedia article “Flood Myth,” a very common factor that is present in most American Indian creation stories is the deluge.
 Usually the deluge, or great flood, is used to form the Earth or to rebirth the Earth.
 Just like the story in the Bible with Noah and the Ark, oftentimes in American Indian creation stories, the flood is used to cleanse the Earth and re-purify it.
 The website “Oral Tradition,” explains how oral tradition is extremely important to Indian culture.
 If there was no oral tradition, there would be no story telling; therefore, no one would know these creation stories today.
 Often, these stories were used for amusement in the tribes or to learn the origin of his or her clan.
 Outside sources, such as the website “Native American Myths of Creation”, and the book “The Myths and Legends of the Pima” written by William Lloyd, provides the creation myths of certain American Indian tribes in order to give insight to their beliefs.
