An Artists Depiction of Squanto

I found this picture of Squanto while looking through several sources. While looking I noticed that they all said the same thing. That Squanto helped the Pilgrims create peace and helped fight off starvation by trading them herbs and several vegetables. He also taught them how to hunt, set up fish traps, and to plant many forms of food. Even though Squanto was a slave in England he was still very willing to help the Pilgrims and because of him there was peace between England and the Natives.

New Blog!! Captain John Smith

 http://pocahontas.morenus.org/smith.html This is Captain John Smith. He was portrayed in his own journal as a great leader and one who should be remembered. While I don't doubt that, he seems quite bias throughout the journal. In this picture he matches the National Geographic video and looks completely different from anything that Disney creates.

New Blog!! Native American blog post.

              This story is explaining why the rabbits tail is so different from other animals' tails. This story has a trickster in it and a "fool" that gets tricked. In this case its the rabbit who in the middle of winter doesn't have any food and when he was hunting didn't do well at all. He asked the fox "chula" where he got his fish and the fox said the frozen river. He got them by sticking his tail in the frozen ice and getting the fish to take a bite. Well his tail became frozen into the ice and he had to lose it for the rabbit to move.
     
Inside this story we find the Native American doing what every society and culture doing: creating stories and myths to explain the unknown reasons. I find this quite interesting and enjoyed watching this video..
