Native American Myth Questions:


1.       Are there any supernatural/immortal powers that are evident in the myth?  If so, please describe.
          - Yes there are super natural powers in this story because the Red Indians believed that spirits were involved with everything about life including animals, weather, people, crops, ect. 
2.       What tribe is this myth from?  What region of the country is this tribe located?
          - The Red Indians of North America, Canada, and the Arctic bits. 
3.       Summarize the myth.
         - This native american myth is based upon the belief that living close to nature and close to spirits is the best thing that you can do. The Red Indians often believed that they had unlimited spiritual world and that they should use it the best way possible. Super natural spirits in this myth are described as being everywhere. They believed that spirits were involved in all aspects of  life including nature, animals, and people. 
4.       Describe the situation in which this myth was shared.  Describe what you see when you see this myth?
       - I believe this myth was passed down through the Red Indian tribe to describe how they stayed close to nature and spirits even when there were "white men" pushing them to become like them.
