Modern Day Native American Story

There are many movies and books that are out today that have ties with Native Americans. I think the one with the most compairsons is the movie "Avatar". In the movie humans move away to explore a far away world that already has native people living on it. The natives use no technology, protect the enviornment and respect their world much the like Native Americans used to. They respect animals and only kill them for food like the American Indians of the past did. Native Americans only used to kill buffalo for food and clothing not for sport like white europeans did when we came to America. All those reasons are why the natives in the movie "Avatar" are very similar to Native American Indians. They show many of the same qualities the our own natives used too.

African Proverb

There is an African Proverb that says, " Until the lion has his or her own storyteller, the hunter will always have the best part of the story.". This is telling us of how the lion, because it lost, has no story to tell. The lion can be a symbol for a lot of things, the hunter can be many things also. The lion has lost the fight against the hunter and therefore nobody wants to hear his story. No story is ever complete until both sides of the story are told. If the lion is not able to tell his story the hunter has the ability to say whatever he wants with nobody to know the truth behind the story. The hunter is able to add anything to the story he wants which can be bad for the lions repuation. The everyday use for this quote is that no story is ever done until you have listened to both sides.
