I found the Sioux Tale "A Woman who Kills her Daughter" very interesting. However, I'm curious has to how it fits with the rest of these stories. I understand that the evil mother gets what she deserves for her feels for her son in law and killing her daughter over it, but it seems sort of out of place among the rest of the entries.- Elizabeth Frank | I found the Sioux Tale "A Woman who Kills her Daughter" very interesting.

| + | Not necessarily in response, I think "A Woman Kills Her Daughter" provides a general exaggerated moral lesson. While being unrealistic, the story imparts a warning against lust and betrayal of family bonds. As we have read throughout the semester, it is interesting to see the similarities between Native American society and that of the colonies. It seems that while the methods of spreading information were rather different, the moral teachings can be closely related. --Robert Kopp | ||
