hi it's tai bug and let me just rewind a bit so I've been feeling really
nostalgic this past couple of weeks and I was looking around on the internet and
on YouTube for some of the stories I used to hear growing up and I was really
sad to find out that they weren't on the internet really like you could find
stories about Goldilocks and all that but those are different types of stories
and the ones I grew up I'm Native American
I'm Apache and Cherokee and my godparents are in Navajo so I grew up
with a lot of those types of stories and like I was just really disappointed to
find that the stories I grew up with weren't online they weren't being told a
lot so I searched around my house and I found the book I grew up listening to
stories about these were my bedtime stories they are called
the telling of the world they're edited by WS pen all ish stories told by a
different person and he come compiled them all and like added art and all that
and just seeing this book almost brought me to tears because I thought we gave it
away and I just haven't heard them with such a long time I'm getting choked up a
little bit so I'm gonna tell you one of the first stories I was told from this
book and it's the creation of the world it's by the
River tribe sizes are the pit tribes and it's about coyote and Silver Fox and how
they created the world
so I'm not gonna read it word for word because I really encourage you guys to
get this book this book it's just such a perfect book and there's like a lot of
dialogue in here that doesn't really pertain to the story because it's kind
of like told between these two people so the story is told by Jaime de Angelo
sorry if I butchered that and I guess I'll get right into it it seems like
there was nothing everywhere but a kind of fog fog and water mixed they say no
land anywhere this here silver fox was wandering and feeling lonely he was
feeling lonely the silver fox I wish I would meet someone he said to himself
the silver fox did he was walking along the fog and he met coyote I thought I
was going to meet someone he said the coyote looked at him but didn't say
anything where are you travelling says Fox but where are you traveling why do
you travel like that because I am worried I am also wandering so the
coyote I am also worrying and travelling I
thought I would meet someone I thought I wouldn't meet someone lets you and I
travel together it's better for two people to be traveling together that's
what they always say well this coyote she says
what are we going to do now what do you think says Fox
I don't know says coyote well then says Fox I'll tell you let's make the world
how are we going to do that we will sing says the box so there they were singing
up there in the sky they were singing and stomping and dancing around each
other in a circle then the books he thought in his mind Columbus saw it come
that's why he made it come by thinking pretty soon he had it in his hand and he
was singing all the while he had it they were both singing and stomping all of a
sudden the Fox through the clump asad he threw it down into the clouds
don't look down he said to coyote keep on singing shut your eyes keep them shut
until I tell you so so they kept on see hands stomping around each other in
their circle for quite a while then the Fox sets coyote now look down there what
do you see I see something I see something but I don't know what it is
alright shut your eyes again now they started singing and stopping again and
Fox thought and wished stretch stretch now look down again what do you see oh
it's getting bigger show your eyes again don't look down
and they went on singing and stomping up there in the sky now look down again oh
no it's big enough so the coyote that's the way they made
the world they both choked down on it and they
stretched it some more then they Mane mountains and valleys they made trees
and rocks and everything took them a long time to do all that and that's the
very first story I'll tell you guys from this book
you guys want I'll make a series because there are so many good stories in this
book this is just one of the creation stories this one is specifically from
the pit trap but each tribe has their own variation of creation stories I just
I think that's so fascinating I'm infatuated with just everyone's
different ways of seeing the world and like it's just so interesting I hope you
guys enjoyed this if you want more just let me know because I'm so eager to tell
you guys more and I guess that's all I have for you guys today see you guys
later bye you
you
