Why did the Haida tell stories?

5.

The Haida told stories to:

  • Explain how their world was made
  • Preserve their heritage for themselves and their children

Stories:

  • Were spoken, not read - there was no written down language
  • People always wanted to perform.

Let's look at some stories...

"How the World Was Made" and "The First Totem Pole"
Read a couple of legends together as a class. Over the next few days have students read a variety of legends from different sources, including different websites.

With a partner...

  • Read "How the World Was Made" again.
  • Use "Plot Profile - Problem/Solution Outline" to dtermind the problem, attempted solutions, and final solution depicted in the story.
