I’ve heard some of the local Yurok’s traditional stories and they are interesting.

And you believed in the tooth fairy, too.

I didn’t say I necessarily believed to them , I said they were interesting.

I know...I’ve listened to them, too.

In classical education, they taught Greek mythology. I don’t see why any other folklore should be different.
To: nickcarraway
The ones I’ve heard had a pretty good point to the story. They had been handed down for generations. I don’t care if they were based on actual events or not.

Oh, there are all sorts of interesting Cherokee legends. The great, monstrous bird-like creature Tlanuwha has always been striking. Impenetrable metal feathers. Mountain balds were cleared to combat the things. Sounds very much like the Thunderbird or Piasa Bird of other legend.

For what it’s worth, the Strawberry is the only plant with seeds on the outside of the fruit so, yes, it’s a pretty special plant!
To: nickcarraway
Interesting, thanks for sharing.

It is now strawberry season in East Tennessee. We are fortunate to have an entrapraneur that grew his small farm into a mega enterprise producing tons of strawberries.
We eat them every day, sometimes twice a day. We know that too soon, they will be gone.
The favorite recipe:
Bake Pillsbury buttermilk biscuits, cut them in half, apply generous amount of butter and sugar, reheat until melted.
Cut strawberies in two or three, mash, apply sugar.
Put mashed strawberries and all the juice on the buttered sugared biscuits.
Eat
