The Cherokee Origin Myth

(2016) describes how A. chrysaetos prefer habitats with coniferous forests in the western United States. They also select habitats made of pinyon-juniper trees or grassland habitats with shrubs. They avoid areas with non-sagebrush shrubs, though, because their prey prefer sagebrush. Golden eagles prey on hares. As the fall and winter approach, grass in the grasslands starts to die, so hares use the sagebrush as cover instead.

In the novel “Fools Crow,” James Welch, the author, expounded on the connections between animals and the Pikunis, a tribe of the Blackfoot people. Likewise, in the novel “Things Fall Apart,” Chinua Achebe, the author, dived into the ibos lives expounding on their connection with their chi which either causes them good or bad fortune. The Pikunis considered the animals as their helpers and believed in partnering up with the animals (one animal per a Pikuni) to garner up their powers and yield to their calling of help in time of these animals’ needs. The Pikunis believed the animals to be their “Animal helpers” since, they had helped this indigenous group of people during wars and crisis by equipping the Pikunis with their powers. Although not as much as in “Fools Crow,” both authors, through the use of magic realism, showed the relationship between White Man’s Dog, the protagonist who was later known as Fools Crow, and his animal helper, the wolverine, and the relationship between Okonkwo and his chi and the benefits of these relationships.

Just like in the spotted owl case, environmentalists were looking out for the good of the owl, while the other group was worried about making the money off the land. Layzer states:“ Both sides claim to appreciate the amenities nature provides wildlife scenic beauty, and open space, but their values are actually quite different” (Layzer, 276). With the chapter from Lazyer it makes you realize that as humans we all have different definitions of enjoyment and how we want to spend our time. Some people want to save the natural parks and keep them in their most natural state. While others want to use it in a way that makes it enjoyable to them, which might be using national parks like Yellow Stone for snowmobiling.

For example, the spots found on a leopard helps them blend into the environment of a forest in regards to the shadows found in the forest. Another example of this will be a bird that is capable of blending in with grass or bark. Having this particular camouflage has been a trait that has happened over time and is mostly found in mammals and birds. Not only is this ability found in mammals and birds but also in aquatic animals. Aquatic animals have a particular type coloration that makes them difficult to be seen in darker or lighter climates.

As Leopold moves along in A Sand County Almanac, the reader finally understands the full scale of thought that is placed in front of them. Leopold begins small in part I, he talks about this circle of life with animals and plants all playing a part and owning the land. Oak Trees end up showing the history of conservation, and wildlife comes from what others consider devastation of the land. Final we learn if mans ownership of land compared to those who also inhabitant it is more important. Bringing to light the question of progress or plants (for this purpose it is a generic term encompassing various flora and fauna)?

In Document E, it exclaims, “Hail to you, oh Nile, spring from the ground, come to keep the land alive…” They believed that the Nile kept the land, and through the land, themselves alive. The Nile River is the cause for them existing and thriving in Egypt. In the song, it also says, “… who floods the fields that Ra (the sun god) has created to make all the animals live…” They believed that the Nile helped the animals live, along with the fields that it pours its imposing waters

Since the beginning of time, animals have symbolized the strong and desirable traits, usually that they possess such as, strengths, purity, love, and wisdom. Since the Mesopotamian era, animals have been depicted in paintings statues, and stories. Many Gods and Goddess from mythology from every culture are represented by an animal, as well as half human half animal creatures. During the Medieval times, animals have been used to symbolize traits or meanings of a family name on their Coat of Arms. Native Americans use carvings of animals on their totems to represent their tribes, spirits, etc. As you can see Animal motifs have been around for a significantly long time.

So they will be there as a vestigial structure because the fur on the bottom of the feet is not hurting them. For the snow fox they needed it to travel on snow more efficiently Structure: Liver Function: To turn toxins unharmful Evolutionary Change: Analogous Structure and Human Involvement Explanation: The liver in the forest fox will grow to filter out the toxins of the water because of the human involvement. Humans are putting trash and oils into the water, so having a larger liver will help filter out the water when they have to drink it. This can also be a analogous structure because it is different sizes for every animal but it serves the same purpose.

As entering in the American Revolution and being affected by the Indian removal act in 1830. Having one of best civilized society of the time also made the Cherokees stand out. They were able to obtain their own schools, government, and laws to keep order.

It is a warm summer night and shades of orange, red, and gold appear in the sky over the pine-covered hills. The sun soon disappears beneath the dark hills and darkness settles over the land. The buffalo, antelope, and elk find places to rest for the night and all is quiet except for the creeks and birds. In several hours, the sky will again be lit with a multitude of colors and the animals will begin to rise. A new day will begin in the Black Hills, just like it did hundreds of years ago.

Recently I have heard the Cherokee ledged of two wolves. In this story a grandfather tells his grandson that every one has two wolves inside them that are always in constant battle with each other. One from the light which represents hope, self esteem, courage and faith. The other is from the dark side which represents depression, fear, anger and guilt. The grandson asks the grandfather which one wins and the grandfather simply replies it is the one you feed.

In David Cusick’s version of “The Iroquois Creation Story,” it begins by there being two worlds-an upper and a lower. The upper world contained humans while the “lower world was in great darkness; -the possession of the great monster” (pg. 23). In the upper world a woman conceives twins and falls towards the lower world. The creatures of the lower world gathered together in the spot where she would land. The only creature that would be able to hold the women was the large turtle with the Earth on his shell.
