What do the qualities these myth makers saw in nature show about the human traits they valued?
There are many different qualities that the myth makers could see in nature as well as in human traits. In the story, "When Grizzlies Walked Upright", the author valued the human traits of being able to walk and talk, as you would see when you read and realize that the grizzlies in the story walked and talked like humans do. In the story, "The Earth on Turtles Back", the author valued human traits of being able to talk to the "sky lady". They also valued the nature traits of the ocean and North America. In the last story, "The Navaho Origin Legend", the author valued traits of an eagle, because in the story the eagle meant something to the Navaho Gods.

Essential Question Blog #1 Entry
There are many details in stories made up by people who respect nature. The details that I expect to find in these stories are very pretty days and things that are in our nature, such as sunshine and trees beside flowers and birds or historical sites. People who respect nature obviously are in touch with things that are in nature and natures sites. There are many different views that you are able to see such as the ocean, mountains, gardens, wide open plains, farms, forestry, and much more. If someone respects nature, then they probably have personal reasons that they are involved with nature like they are. When a person that likes nature wrights a story, then I'm almost positive that nature scenes are going to be somehow included in their work.
