The Ghost and the Traveler
I thought this story was really short. It differs from other
stories because it does not refer to a God but instead the “Thunder Beings.” I
found it a bit amusing that the man’s response to seeing the woman with no legs
was that she might choke him.
The Man Who Shot a Ghost
I thought this story was very interesting because the ghost
he had wounded turned out to be a person that had been shot in the head.
The Wakanda, or Water God
This story actually does use a God to show power. It was interesting
to see some of the Native American customs that were shown in the story, such as
painting their bodies. Many of them would use paint for war, or hunting. In
this case they were trying to get their child back. I also thought it was
another reference to culture about the white dog that the water god wanted.
The Spirit Land
This story was probably my favorite from this unit. I thought
it showed the significance of the term “crow” to the Native American people. Their
leader showed no fear and a solution to a problem.
I enjoyed reading this unit. I noticed how it was written in
a different language compared to what we are used to reading, which shows the
culture of the text.
I thought this image was fitting for this unit.
