Part VI: Reading Strategy: Recognize Cultural Details Literature reflects the culture that produces it. While you read a piece of literature, pay attention to cultural detailssuch as references to objects, animals, or practices that signal how people live, think, or worshipto gain cultural insight. For example, the cultural details in the three Native American myths and the Iroquois Constitution indicate how the Native Americans lived as well as what they valued in life. Read the following excerpts from the selections. Then answer the questions that follow. The Earth on the Turtles Back There was an ancient chief in the Skyland. His young wife was expecting a child, and one night she dreamed that she saw the Great Tree uprooted. The next day she told her husband the story. He nodded as she finished telling her dream. My wife, he said, I am sad that you had this dream. It is clearly a dream of great power and, as is our way, when one has such a powerful dream we must do all we can to make it true. The Great Tree must be uprooted. When Grizzlies Walked Upright The Sky Spirit broke off the small end of his giant stick and threw the pieces into the rivers. The longer pieces turned into beaver and otter; the smaller pieces became fish. When the leaves dropped from the trees, he picked them up, blew upon them, and so made the birds. from The Navajo Origin Legend The white ear of corn had been changed into a man, the yellow ear into a woman. It was the wind that gave them life. It is the wind that comes out of our mouths now that gives us life. When this ceases to blow we die. In the skin at the tips of our fingers we see the trail of the wind; it shows us where the wind blew when our ancestors were created. from The Iroquois Constitution We now do crown you with the sacred emblem of your lordship. You shall now become a mentor of the people of the Five Nations. The thickness of your skin shall be seven spanswhich is to say that you shall be proof against anger, offensive actions and criticism. Your heart shall be filled with peace and good will and your mind filled with a yearning for the welfare of the people of the confederacy. What can you infer about the Native Americans attitude toward nature? Support your opinion with evidence from the excerpts. Explain what you can infer about the place of dreams in Native American culture from the excerpt from The Earth on Turtles Back. What does the excerpt from The Iroquois Constitution tell us about the ideals of the Iroquois people? Explain the significance of the words the thickness of your skin found in The Iroquois Constitution. What does it mean today to be thick-skinned? Part VII: Literary Analysis: Origin Myths Origin myths are traditional stories that recount the origins of earthly life. Passed down from generation to generation, these myths often explain such phenomena as the beginning of human life, the customs and religious rites of a people, the creation of natural landmarks, and events beyond a peoples control.
