Week 10: Reading Diary
Reading A:
Beliefs:
This was a really interesting and different story. It was about all of the 5 different worlds that the Nuxalk people believe in. It would be fun to give details and play up one of the worlds for a retelling.
Creation of the World:
I always find it so interesting to read stories about how things in the world came to be, but this story was how the actual world came to be. A toad went underwater to find some earth and the turtle put all of the little bit of earth on his shell and it grew into the world. It is so interesting to see how Native American stories are similar or different to other stories I already know or have read for this class.
How the Earth was Formed:
This story was really similar to the last story and it also reminded me a tiny bit of Noah's Ark. This story was kind of strange in my opinion I don't think I will be retelling it but it was interesting to read about how the earth was formed according to the Cree people.
The Creation of the Earth:
This story was short and sweet. It was another story about creation and how the world came to be. I would have to add a lot to this story to retell it because it was so short and lacked a lot of detail.
Origin of Rivers in Queen Charlotte Islands:
This story was a lot like others I have read in this class about how things came to be. I think this story would be really good with some more detail because it was more of a shorter story so I could really add a lot in a retelling.
Coyote's Gifts:
This story was about a coyote who was sent from the Old One. He has powers to shape shift and all sorts of things. He ultimately ends up letting salmon be in all places so that no one could take them all.
