American Indian Myths and Legends by Rochard Edoes and Alfonso Ortiz.

After reading this excerpt, I am more aware of Native American culture in regards to myths. I understand that they were very much into nature. In our culture, we may view this as pelicular, but it is very signicant to them as a whole. One thing that caught my attention was the information at the end of each story which states where the works were collected from. I think that this is very important when it comes to trusting sources. Giving that each work cited has a date and a author, I think that it's safe or credible. Another thing that I found interesting was in the story When Grizzlies Walked Upright, is where the girl was so curious that she went on a discovery. This concept can be related back to our concept where "curiosity kills the cat." Overall, this reading relates very much to our culture today.
