Use your favorite search engine to find an example of Native American Literature (a poem, short folktale, or a prayer will work best). Read a few before you choose one. You need to be familiar with the example you choose because you will need to answer some questions about it. Copy and paste the example into your blog post.
Creation And Longevity
An Achomawi Legend
Coyote began the creation of the earth, but Eagle completed it. Coyote scratched it up with his paws out of nothingness, but Eagle complained there were no mountains for him to perch on.
So Coyote made hills, but they were not high enough. Therefore Eagle scratched up great ridges. When Eagle flew over them, his feathers dropped down, took root, and became trees. The pin feathers became bushes and plants.
Coyote and Fox together created man. They quarreled as to whether they should let men live always or not.
Coyote said, "If they want to die, let them die."
Fox said, "If they want to come back, let them come back."
But Coyote's medicine was stronger, and nobody ever came back. Coyote also brought fire into the world, for the Indians were freezing. He journeyed far to the west, to a place where there was fire, stole some of it, and brought it home in his ears.
He kindled a fire in the mountains, and the Indians saw the smoke of it, and went up and got fire.

Post the following to your blog: What new vocabulary have you used in this unit already? What do these new terms mean to you?
*Puritanism-the principles and practices of the Puritans.
*Rationalists-the principle or habit of accepting reason as the supreme authority in matters of opinion, belief, or conduct.
*unalienable-Not to be separated, given away, or taken away
6.Briefly (one good paragraph) describe the differences between the Puritans and the Rationalists. Please be careful not to repeat the same words you have read in this entry. Where in today's society do you see some of the ideas you have read about here represented?. (Hint -- check this out, especially the comments section.)
The Rationalists were a group of people who believed in the theory that an individual's actions and beliefs should be based on reason, rather than on intuition or the teachings of others. They were people who formed opinions by reasoning instead of because someone said so. They believed everything had a logical explanation and felt as if it was their duty to provide it. They believed in God, but they didn’t believe he had the say in everything. They knew he created the universe but it was up to the people to find out everything you didn’t know.
