They can't go back, but they still found out the road go home by boat. A lot of years, more people went to the great northwest, in Canada and Americas. They are good farmers, and they are good makers, too.

http://wso.williams.edu/~junterek/youth.htm

Alexander was born at about July 20. 356 B.C.E. The exact date maybe created after the fact to match. Nevertheless, the date on which Philip heard news of the birth has coincide with the announcement to Philip of Parmenio's success in Illyria and the victory of his horse at the Olympic games.
Alexander has fair skinned, with a ruddy tinge to his face and chest. Plutarch stated that he had a pleasing scent. He likes all Macedonians, Alexander likes his liquor.

hunter and gatherer myths




http://nativeamericans.mrdonn.org/stories/clevercoyote.html
This story name's "Clever Coyote", is about a monsterbring all the buffalos in his mountain hideout. A wild dog discuss this with all the people and all the animals together.Monster live with a little boy.They need to bring the boy and buffalos out. Wild dog says the boy is too lonely. So they send a mouse to get the boy heart, but the monster want him to send mouse back. They send a bird. Again the monster want it back. The wild dog says he will go himself. Monster very angry, want them to go a way. The more the boy cried, and the more Coyote howled to make him feel better, the more frightened the buffalo. A buffalo ran, and other ran with it. The monster ran after the buffalo. While the monster was gone, Coyote took the small boy to live with the people. Late that night, when the monster returned to his lair, young warriors were waiting. They killed the monster.
I think when the monster catch all the buffalos, and they want to safe them. So I can see they are worship to buffalos. I haer of that white buffalos thet more worship.



http://nativeamericans.mrdonn.org/stories/bluerock.html

this is a story call "Child of Water and Little Blue Rock".There are four monsters on the Earth. They like to eat people. One night, a monster want to eat a child of water. The child want to play a game with monster. The monster lose, and dead. The boy use some blue rocks make a necklace to his mother. The child kill all the monster.
The story have child of water. I think the water are lofty for them. And child make a necklace to Mother means the child love to Mother.



http://nativeamericans.mrdonn.org/stories/raven.html

This is about a story of Raven.
A Raven can change to a man. Raven was very smart. He had considerable charm. He is a thief and a liar. Raven used his charm to make his lies sound like truth. Who trusted Raven often found themselves in big trouble. But Raven did not care. Raven was as selfish as he was clever.
I think Raven is means bad to them. Becuase they says they are smart and vile.
And it is thief and liar
