All Together Now

Following the assignment to create a group post/video we came up with the following video. (Turn your speakers all the way up, we are amateur movie makers!)

Now we would just like to put in a few words more on the topic of Story and Song. In the video we talked about each other's civilizations and how they all relate through the theme of water in their origin myths, and stories in general. Maddie shared a little bit more on this theme here. What we didn't get to is how this important oral knowledge is shared, or the structures for sharing it.

Myths of Origin

Continuing our class discussion of Story and Song and working towards this group's group post I've decided to put up some thoughts on origin myths, something I hope our whole group will relate to in each of the civilizations they research for this unit.

Valley of the Gods from Nature's Images'

Warning: This isn't a complete post, just a short description of some of the origin myths I've discovered while researching, and some of the thought's I've had while  reading them. I plan to look for some primary, or more primary, sources on this topic to make a more complete post that will help relate these origin myths and other folk lore from the Navajo to our general discussion on these topics.

If you'd like to help me develop these thoughts, read and comment below!
