(sniff) If only I could make corn!

A story. Who knows what a story can mean? A story that I like can be heroic, strong, yet at the same time frail, encouraging and emotionally evoking, but the same story to you might just be the opposite. But whether a certain story falls in line between you and me, stories mean a great deal to us. The same was with the Native Americans. Stories were not given space in the ear just for the story's sake, but because stories played an intricate role in the beliefs of the people. When the right person (like a chief or leader of the people) spoke of a tale and told a story, it was woven into them. The stories were so varied among them, since there was so many different tribes (popular imagination contrary to reality), that a story on how death came to be, or the creation of the world, or even how the oceans were formed, could be explained in so many different ways by them. I liked this book. It was insightful, and the map at the beginning pages of the book (set back in the sixteen hundreds), along with the description portion that tells a few things about some of the tribal nations, are eye opening to how vast they were before the colonist arrival. From reading this book it gave me a deeper respect for who they were and who they are, as well as it amazes me how God made one man so different form another. I recommend this book to anyone who has interest and/or is intrigued by...no wait, I recommend it to everyone. -Jake Smithers
