1. The advantage of the living creatures becoming more complex and civilized from one world to the next, I think emphasizes that with each world the next one becomes better. It also helps explain the existence of their people. As describe in pre-text, it shows that all living creatures deserve respect because they are all creations of the same Supreme Being.
2 THE WOMAN WHO FELL FROM THE SKY
3. The significance of the Good Twin killing the Evil Twin was to show that evil and a non-collectiveness of order will not prosper. I think that by killing the Evil Twin it created peace so that the Good Twin could finally create the Eagwehoewe people and not have to worry about the Evil Twin messing with his creation. With the Evil
twin gone and the Eawehoewe people now alive, six other tribes are created and can live in peace among each other. They create the Confederacy of the Six Nations, vowing to put their differences aside remain united, unlike the twin’s relationship.
3 SEDNA
5. The myth of Sedna reveals that the culture is a harsh one. They were hunters and relied on the animals of the land and sea for their food, clothing, and building materials. They sought balance and harmony between Inuit people and the natural world. I think by the taboo of cooking the land and sea animals together, was to showing disrespect for each animal and what each provided for the Inuit people.
Furthermore, it seems that in this culture, a woman is able to choose her husband by choice. A woman also became the supreme ruler of the universe, which tells me that women had equality, if not more power than men. Both of the men in the story, bird-man and her father, deceived her and paid with their lives.
4 CAUGHT BY A HAIR-STRING
3. In this myth, the forest seems to be almost like an enchanted forest. Only once in the story did a character, the lazy and unattractive-man, go hunting in the woods for animals, but instead of finding animals he runs into a magical old woman. He wants to marry the youngest of the beautiful daughters. The old lady gives him a magical beaded hair-strand that, once placed on the beautiful girl, will be his wife. He does so, and several days later he finds he lost in the woods. This process repeats itself with the chief’s son. He marries the eldest of the beautiful daughters.
