The Starvation Story

.[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fHJW_rHwRQ[/youtube]

I found this Youtube video on a whim when I searched for “First Nations Story”.  There are many First Nations stories done as videos.  I feel this makes YouTube a very powerful resource.  This was a story of hardship and how people must rely on each other.  It exposes the folly of pride, as the hunter refuses food from neighbours to feed his family.  It also speaks to how the larger group can be affected by the actions of one individual.  In this case, the father’s daughters die of starvation because he will not accept help when he needs it.  It is done in in a First Nations language that was not identified, but subtitles were provided
