>>85086268Stop telling your silly story about there ever being enough tribes full of people who can actually talk with each other like that.
I like stories to pass the time in the winter as much as the next man, but let's focus on real things, like the spirits and the hunt.
The Earth Mother will never be able to support that many people. It's really a foolish idea.
It's the kind of crazy idea those awful "Sky Father" traders were telling our cousins several seasons walk from here. I've heard the story passed along so it might be wrong after so many retellings, I'd like to go there some day and see for myself whether they are as sneering and condescending towards our people as they say.
I have heard they talk about ruling the "world", and how their "Sky Father" is some kind of great chief that takes any woman he wants and killed his father. They say that the Sun is one of the wisest Spirits. The Sun! That is madness. Everyone knows that he and the Moon are foolish lovers chasing each other in the sky.
They also seem to think that the Earth Mother is a foolish, vindictive spirit that does not approve of her daughter being with great chief that is the younger brother of their Sky Father.
Some nonsense about him ruling over their spirits when they die, in a dreary cave and rewarding only a few too. That is also sheer madness. Everyone knows that your spirit is reborn when you die.
