reality, and "indigenous worldview" = mythology passed along in a family, tribe or other associated group of people through storytelling and the like. Each generation of listeners, or individuals within this association, may have a different interpretation of the myth or to stories pertaining to the myth, based on personal experiences, and any or all of these interpretations may become incorporated into the myth. There's nothing mystical about that.

I'd suggest you post your mystical thoughts concerning the Ojibwa prophecy in the Seekers of Unique Paths group, but I see that you already have, as you also have in the Skepticism, Science & Pseudoscience group.
