miigwetch! keeping the verbal tradition alive is beautiful. thank you my mother always tries to tell stories but she was taken by the 60's scoop at 7 years old and unfortunately was forced to forget them. i appreciate the tellings as my mother (ogima descendant) was in the Algonquin area and it has been appropriated. i still have the original letters from the queen of the first order dating back a long time ago. the language is dying and he stories are hard to find. the spirit lives on.
I asked The Creator (The Lord God in heaven) to send Coyote to peacefully reveal himself to me and my prayer was answered when a Coyote appeared to my dad and I on a foggy night while my dad was driving me home. The Coyote bowed his head to me as a sign of respect before Coyote went back into the forest after doing what The Creator (The Lord God in heaven) sent him to do. I hope that The Creator (The Lord God in heaven) will send Coyote to humble those that do evil unto others. What are your thoughts about that?
That sounds like a really beautiful and profound experience. I’ve heard it said that Coyote is the most like us, always pushing boundaries and relying on being clever. Hopefully we can all be humbled and inspired a bit.
Parenting when story telling is part of wonderful lifestyles in the Americas. Can some of us grandparents be forgiven if we culturally misappropriate some of those stories when entertaining our grandchildren too? Of course no one would complain about that unless we started wearing disguises while doing so to look more indigenous too without that getting first authenticated by someone with an indigenous studies doctorate degree with well documented proof of indigenous family tree heritage and then that being pre-approved by a chief. Since that would be going way too far.
I personally think that as long as you’re trying to share respectfully and not claiming to be anything you’re not, then your heart is in the right place.
I would recommend reading the description of the video; “mythology” does not use “myth” in the modern sense of a “lie” but in the classical sense meaning “symbolic story.” This project uses the same word to talk about symbolic stories from across cultural traditions, mine included. And regarding your second comment, if you watch the video each story does tell the specific nation that it is from, and even the specific person when possible. I always make sure to only share stories that have been freely shared before. I appreciate your concerns; please know that I have absolutely taken those into consideration in the making of this project.

Its very disrespectful for white people to talk about this and label it "mythogy".
This is history, knowledge, information.
