Black Feet Mythology
Collin Hansen
The Black feet creation myth is that a giant man began a journey. First by walking from the south. He then the north and lies down to sleep when he got up there was an indent of his body forming mountains. As he got up he tripped and fell on his knees forming the grassy plans then the old man created animals awkward
to the grass from the land. The animal was a big horned sheep but they did not walk very well on the plains, as a result the old man put them on the mountain and the sheep just grace fully jumped from peak to peak. The he made antelope but they did not do well on the mountains so he placed them on the plains were they thrived. Then he decides to make a woman a child from clay. It also took many days for the clay to come to life. He showed the humans how to make weapons, hunt, and fish. He would later continue west promising that he would return! Therefore the Black feet truly still believe that he will return.Welt, Glen. “Giant Old Man.” Indigenous People. June 6th 2004. 11-10-08.

Pygmalion and Galatea
Love what is love not fake love true love one that cannot be broken by force or departure. One of these story’s are of Pygmalion who is a sculptor who becomes obsess with sculpting the perfect statue though he was a women hater. But his love would help bring her to life. With a little help from one of the goddess though. Psychological, physical, and socially. Physically can be touch and felt by the other person. The story helps socially tell people that true love concurs all in more ways than one. Psychologically the mind is well developed and this story explains- love.
The way the story starts off is that there is a man named Pygmalion he did not like women vary much. Though he sculpted many statues of them. He would later become obsess with one of his creations to make her perfect in every way possible. So he worked day and night till he finally was done. She was so beautiful in every way. Soon a strange thing happen he found himself in love with his creation though se was not of the living he pretended a lot in a very weird way. Venus became fond o watching him pretend so she decided to bring her t life. Slowly but surly she started to come to life. Pygmalion soon named her Galatea they would later marry and have kids. And as they say in the storybooks they lived happily ever after.
There is a moral in this story that moral is that true love concurs all no matter what thanks to Venus after all. Follow your heart and you will live a happy and full life. And that is the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea.
