Reading Notes: Native American Marriage Tales, Part A

Native American Marriage Tales Unit from Tales of the North American Indians an anthology by Stith Thompson.

I chose this unit because I am recently married, and because it reminds me of the Disney movie Big Brother II.

In these stories people just happen to pop in and out of animal-ness, injuries result in new people, and dead people don't have to stay dead. Very strange way to cope with death. It seems to have been effective for the people. 

A story told based off of these stories will be an "explanation" for something no one who does not believe in God can attest to knowing fully. It will have animals. This story can be told in first person, but most likely to aid in retelling, it will be told by a narrator.
