The Legend 0f the White Rock originates from White Rock in British Columbia and is a legend about a sea god who rules a kingdom and has a son. The sea gods son goes on a journey and finds a girl. The sea gods son brings the girl to his kingdom and asks his father if they can marry. The sea god refuses and tells him to leave and take her back. The girl tells the sea gods son that he can stay at their tribe and will be welcomed. They show up to her tribe and the son is refused there. So they make their own tribe and the sea gods son throws a white rock in the water and tells the girl “Wherever this lands we will build our territory there.” So he throws the rock, and they build the Semiahmoo tribe.

The reason oral storytelling is still important today is because it teaches people today that these stories and legends still are remembered to this day.
