I am not exactly sure what it is yet, but it has something to do with the repetition/mimicry of myth, literature, and art through the ages. Worth looking into, perhaps along these lines? Two books that are supposed to be good are <em>Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature</em>, by Auerbach, and <em>The Aesthetics of Mimesis</em>, by Stephen Halliwell. Not exactly "geomythology," which sounds interesting unto its own right, but the two could be relative to one another?

I've read and heard about it since I was a little kid. I don’t know Deloria’s work, but this field has been around at least since the 1970’s with many many authors and theoreticians.
