Legend – summary

My legend was a story about a naïve bear and a caring hummingbird. The bear was always hungry and didn’t know how to hunt, so it thought that it could take all the other animal’s food that they had gotten on their own. Until the animals got fed up and wanted bear to go find his own food. Bear met hummingbird while searching for food and hummingbird helped bear by showing him where to hunt and get food, bear got the food and was happy, he thanked hummingbird and thanked the other animals for their food and in return bear gave some of his fish to the other animals.

I think oral storytelling is important in all cultures because it teaches a lesson and shows what their ancestors have learned before them and helping them learn from their mistakes.

The project that I have chosen is about the Cree nation, I chose this nation because it has interesting stories and traditions, I like the architecture and fashion as well. This nation is beautiful and I like the traditions very much.
