1. I thank this unit will cover all of the myths and tradition. The unit will tell us how the myths were created and we pass down to our children. The Oral Tradition we use are pass down by mouth so we could pass them on to other people that do not know anything about it.

3. I choose little red riding hood because the story is telling us that little kids should not walk alone anywere because someone is watching them, and they can get them anytime they want. This folk tail is good for little kids because it is telling them that people are not who they say they are.

4. The creation myth "The Earth on the Turtle Back," is a myth that is telling us how the world became what it is now. In the myth I think the muskrat has a big part in there culture because she was the only one that made it to the buttom of the water. In the myth it said
"I will bring up Earth or die trying." They all looked to see who it was. “It was little Muskrat. She dove
down and swam and swam. She was not as strong and swift as the others, but she was determined. She
went so deep that it was all dark, and still she swam deeper. Her lungs felt ready to burst, but she swam
deeper still. At last, just as she was becoming unconscious, she grasped at the bottom with her little paw
and floated upwards, almost dead. When the other animals saw her break the surface, they thought she
had failed. Then they saw her right paw was held tightly shut".




5. The myth I read was about how this great island got its night and day. Everything that lived on this dark island could not see anything, so they got the sun and moved it east and west so they could get some light for a short period of time. When they moved the sun the Great Spirit come down and told them that they cound not go to sleep for seven day and seven night, but most of them did sleep. The ones that stayed awake like the trees, they got to stay green for the hole year while the rest of them died each winter, and the animals that stayed awake got the ability to go about at day and night time. Without the sun the animals that lived on the island would die from not having food to eat, a place to stay because they could not see were to go when a bad storm would come. There is a little similarities with the cultures because I learned that god made the earth, and in there culture animals made the earth what it is today.
