Native American Deer Origin

Seeing as how Skunk Bear had told Fools Crow that “I help you because twice you have rescued me from the Napikwan’s steel jaws” (Welch 120). Not only did Skunk Bear endow Fools Crow with his animal power by giving him “the white stone and the song” (Welch 127), he also cleansed him of his lust for his father’s third wife, “Kills-close-to-the-lake. Furthermore, through the marsh of the mundane and the spiritual realm, the importance of these human-animal connections was emphasized. In addition, it shows the significance of the powers acquired by the human leg of this relationship. Although, in “Things Fall Apart,” it is not an animal-human relationship, Okonkwo’s achievements were due to his chi: “That was not luck.

In “Coyote and The Buffalo”, the main characters are both animals. It is clear in the story that buffalo are important, especially buffalo meat. They also believe that coyotes were made to help humans survive on earth. This is shown when the coyote helps the buffalo by making him a new pair of horns. Lastly, the Iroquois and the Okanogan tribes both value sharing and generosity.

Prior to the colonization of the Americas, the buffalo was crucially important to the Sioux life until its near extinction. Nearly every activity, for instance, hunting, praying, cooking, making art, sewing, teaching, singing and celebrating embraced and respected the buffalo. Certainly, the buffalo remained the epicenter of the Lakota Sioux life and maintained its status as the survival source of the Indians originating from the past to the present era. The role that the buffalo upheld in regards to the culture, livelihood, and identity of the Lakota was incalculable (Ostler,

The Deer at Providencia Interpretive Response In Annie Dillard’s story, The Deer at Providencia, the author recounts a shocking event during her trip to Ecuador along with a small moment back in her home. What do these two seemingly unconnected moments have in common? They both share the idea of suffering and pity, which are greatly reflected in the story’s message. That message being to not be surprised by the suffering that surrounds this world. Later, Dillard is told that the rest of her small group was watching her while she watched the deer.

“Meet my friend Pine, the caribou.” Pine slowly raised his head and grunted. Shadow explained to Pine what happened to River, and Pine agreed to help. Pine let River climb onto his back and said in a deep voice, “We should go to the north point of Bison Island because that’s where all the bison live.” After a day of travelling, they finally got there. River was scratched. Then she heard soft drumming noises.

Oral tradition in Native American culture illustrates the physical history of each tribe, connects origins of the natural world to a contemporary setting, and reinforces generations of societal values. In particular, the Nez Perce tale, “Red Willow,” encapsulates and preserves many elements of tradition within its narrative. Spirituality, death rituals, social roles, and analysis of their people’s surrounding environment are all essential themes compacted into the brief narrative. The story’s pacing is rapid and simple in order to entrance and educate a young audience while reinforcing the tribe’s traditions and introducing creation tales. Origin stories structured similarly to “Red Willow” have been used throughout Native American cultures

"I have watched the face of many a newly wolfless mountain, and seen the south-facing slope wrinkle with a maze of new deer trails. I have seen every edible bush and seedling browsed, first to anaemic desuetude, and then to death" (Leopold 2). This quote from "Thinking Like a Moutain" supports the fact that author Aldo Leopold believes that an ecosystem is nothing without its plants and animals. Similarly, in the documentary Cold Warriors: Wolves vs. Buffalo, director Jeff Turner explains that wolves and buffalo in Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP) work against each other to create a beautiful ecosystem, and healthy place for plants and animals to live. For this, and other reasons, Aldo Leopold would feel conflicted about what is happening in WBNP.

“Diana and Actaeon;” The Similarities and Differences between the Original Ovidian Episode and Titian’s Painting When one mentions the story of “Diana and Actaeon,” one’s mind most commonly recalls the transition story in Ovid’s Metamorphoses, where Actaeon accidentally stumbles upon the goddess Diana naked in the woods while on a hunting trip, and she metamorphoses him into a deer, therefore his hunting dogs devour him (Ovid 55). This is a very well-known episode from the Metamorphoses, because it is where Ovid first delves into the discussion of whether the gods are just in the punishments; for this reason, “Diana and Actaeon” has inspired numerous visual translations depicting different scenes from the episode. The famous Italian artist

What I realized about myself is that I’m strong and can do whatever I want if I put my mind to it. This experience of hunting with guys the whole time and one other female and getting a deer was so touching. I learned how to live with a mess. I learned how to gut a deer. I learned how to have
