OK so we have been learning about the Native Americans all week. I find it actually somewhat interesting, maybe because im part Native American, who knows it just interest me. The stories we have been reading have been really hard to take notes on, but the myths in them are fun to read. We watched a movie on the story of Devil's Tower made me wonder do they have stories like that for every natural thing in the United States or is it just that particular story because thats where they were at that time? So i decided to do a little research to figure all this out....http://www.angelfire.com/ia2/stories3/coyote.html...
ok so that story is really long but super good. It shows that the Native Americans did have all different kinds of stories and legends for the things that we just assume God made. In this story they decribe how one of the waterfalls was made on the Great River. You would never think of something like that in such a descriptive way as they did. It makes me look at the things I see on a day to day basis in a totally different way now and I think was this here when God created the world or did the Native Americans have their way in this?
I like to think about how the Native Americans might explain some of God's creations. Good post.
