In the beginning, and until about 500 years ago the Native peoples of North America had no cards of any kind. Tarot cards are of European origin, and the traditional versions are based on the Hebrew Qabala. The standard playing cards of today are offshoots of the Tarot, to the best of my knowledge. Jamie Sam's Sacred Path Cards are a compilation of Native teachings from several First Nations, not a Tarot deck.

In the beginning, there was the Word. And it's still misunderstood!
