<strong> This is the perfect coffee table Native American storybook. In fact the perfect storybook for anytime or anywhere. </strong></p><strong> The title couldn't be better, couldn't have been more ingenious and simple, Indian Why Stories. Native folktales from an actual life's extension of one who listened to his respected elders&#x3b; telling his stories in hopes of passing them on. Hoping he would be molding small lives with the impression that they will carry to their generations the treasures of their Native heritage.</strong></p><strong> The reasoning behind the natural world, animal's actions, appearance, human customs, physical features, or aspects of the world. Why do certain tribes treat the Owl differently? Why is the Mountain Lion long and lean? Why do certain trees and animals behave in certain ways?</strong></p><strong> Moral tales, love and creation, how man found his mate, dreams, trickery, culture. The oral traditions portrayed and passed on during impressionable years only to be remembered with purpose then shared again. Shape-shifting, historical figures, origins and tribal customs overcoming life's challenges.</strong></p><strong> Memories never to be forgotten while listening to Grandfather framing his tales, hearing the flames lick the coals and while shadows dance across the old Chief's tipi walls&#x3b; remembering the painted masterpieces that came to life of the buffalo running the prairie wishing they could return for more.</strong></p><strong> With color illustrations.</strong></p><p></p>
