Native American Folklore
Native American Folklore is inspired by nature. All the stories I read dealt with animals and the outdoors. In the stories the animals were given human qualities, which is not much different from our culture's folklore. These stories had depth they really meant something.

Then the fox asked very politely for a piece of the meat. Native American folklore's are all closely related. The fox told him of his starving family at home and the mouse still wouldn't share. Each story has a lesson and a meaning; they seem to relate to life experiences. The stories didn't seem to far fetch except the personification of animals. Mainly, because they were passed along the tribes in terms of entertainment. The story was about a little field mouse, which stood up to a buffalo and prepared for a fight. The mouse became very arrogant and stood upon the beast and yelled to a fox to bring him a knife, the fox did so and cut the buffalo. The mouse explained that he was a great warrior and he killed the buffalo so he deserved all of it. My favorite story I read was called The Buffalo and the Field Mouse by an apache tribe. The stories teach children how to behave. The moral of this story is that if you are proud and selfish you will loose it all in the end.
