As I continued reading Native American stories for Week 10 I had many topics to choose from. I chose to focus on
American Indian Fairy Tales. I chose this because I thought it would be a little bit more relatable to me. This unit contains stories inspired by the Ojibwa and other Native American legends collected and published by Henry Schoolcraft in the early 19th century.
Iagoo, the Story-Teller: as the story began I found myself becoming very interested with Iagoo. I was eager to learn more about a character who was so powerful and wise. He seems like the perfect character and role models for young children. I liked how he is all knowing of all fairy tales and stories and he continuously passes them on. This story is kind of the set up for the entire book as the stories in the book are ones that Iagoo will soon share.
The Fairy Bride: I found this story to be very interesting. I am a sucker for a good love story so I was drawn to this story when I saw the title. I love reading about weddings! The story begins by saying who Neen-i-zu is. She is a wonderful girl who is extremely popular throughout the tribe. I gained more intrigue in the story once fairies were introduced. Overall, I think that this was a particularly great story. It had everything that fairy tales are supposed to have. It had romance, and magic. It kept my interest through the whole thing.
