![]() | submitted by JoshAsdvgi to Native_Stories [link] [comments] THE CREATION A Kato (( Cahto )) Legend The sandstone rock which formed the sky was old, they say. It thundered in the east; it thundered in the south; it thundered in the west; it thundered in the north. "The rock is old, we will fix it," he said. There were two, Nagaitcho and Thunder. "We will stretch it above far to the east," one of them said. They stretched it. They walked on the sky. In the south he stood on end a large rock. In the west he stood on end a large rock. In the north he stood on end a large, tall rock. In the east he stood on end a large, tall rock. He made everything properly. He made the roads. He made a road to the north (where the sun travels in summer). "In the south there will be no trees but only many flowers," he said. "Where will there be a hole through?" he asked. At the north he made a hole through. East he made a large opening for the clouds. West he made an opening for the fog. "To the west the clouds shall go," he said. He made a knife. He made it for splitting the rocks. He made the knife very strong. "How will it be?" he considered. "You go north; I will go south," he said. "I have finished already," he said. "Stretch the rock in the north. You untie it in the west, I will untie it in the east." "What will be clouds?" he asked. "Set fires about here," he told him. On the upland they burned to make clouds. Along the creek bottoms they burned to make mist. "It is good," he said. He made clouds so the heads of coming people would not ache. There is another world above where Thunder lives. "You will live here near by," he told Nagaitcho. "Put water on the fire, heat some water," he said. He made a person out of earth. "Well, I will talk to him," he said. He made his right leg and his left leg. He made his right arm and his left arm. He pulled off some grass and wadded it up. He put some of it in place for his belly. He hung up some of it for his stomach. When he had slapped some of the grass he put it in for his heart. He used a round piece of clay for his liver. He put in more clay for his kidneys. He cut a piece into parts and put it in for his lungs. He pushed in a reed (for a trachea). "What sort will blood be?" he enquired. He pounded up ochre. "Get water for the ochre," he said. He laid him down. He sprinkled him with water. He made his mouth, his nose, and two eyes. "How will it be?" he said. "Make him privates," he said. He made them. He took one of the legs, split it, and made woman of it. Clouds arose in the east. Fog came up in the west. "Well, let it rain, let the wind blow," he said. "Up in the sky there will be none, there will be only gentle winds. Well, let it rain in the fog," he said. It rained. One could not see. It was hot in the sky. The sun came up now. "What will the sun be?" he said. "Make a fire so it will be hot. The moon will travel at night." The moon is cold. He came down. "Who, I wonder, can kick open a rock?" he said. "Who can split a tree?" "Well, I will try," said Nagaitcho. He couldn't split the tree. "Who, I wonder, is the strongest?" said Thunder. didn't break the rock. "Well, I will try," said Thunder. Thunder kicked the rock. He kicked it open. It broke to pieces. "Go look at the rock," he said. "He kicked the rock open," one reported. "Well, I will try a tree," he said. He kicked the tree open. The tree split to pieces. Thunder and Nagaitcho came down. "Who can stand on the water? You step on the water," Thunder told Nagaitcho. "Yes, I will," Nagaitcho said. He stepped on the water and sank into the ocean. "I will try," said Thunder. He stepped on the water. He stood on it with one leg. "I have finished quickly," he said. It was evening. It rained. It rained. Every day, every night it rained. "What will happen? It rains every day," they said. The fog spread out close to the ground. The clouds were thick. The people then had no fire. The fire became small. All the creeks were full. There was water in the valleys. The water encircled them. "Well, I have finished," he said. "Yes," Nagaitcho said. "Come, jump up. You must jump up to another sky," he told him. "I, too, will do that." "At night when every kind of thing is asleep we will do it," he said. Every day it rained, every night it rained. All the people slept. The sky fell. The land was not. For a very great distance there was no land. The waters of the oceans came together. Animals of all kinds drowned. Where the water went there were no trees. There was no land. People became. Seal, sea-lion, and grizzly built a dance-house. They looked for a place in vain. At Usal they built it for there the ground was good. There are many sea-lions there. Whale became a human woman. That is why women are so fat. There were no grizzlies. There were no fish. Blue lizard was thrown into the water and became sucker. Bull-snake was thrown into the water and became black salmon. Salamander was thrown into the water and became hook-bill salmon. Grass- snake was thrown into the water and became steel-head salmon. Lizard was thrown into the water and became trout. Trout cried for his net. "My net, my net," he said. They offered him every kind of thing in vain. It was "My net" he said when he cried. They made a net and put him into it. He stopped crying. They threw the net and trout into the water. He became trout. "What will grow in the water?" he asked. Seaweeds grew in the water. Abalones and mussels grew in the water. Two kinds of kelp grew in the ocean. Many different kinds grew there. "What will be salt?" he asked. They tasted many things. The ocean foam became salt. The Indians tried their salt. They will eat their food with it. They will eat clover with it. It was good salt. "How will the water of this ocean behave? What will be in front of it?" he asked. "The water will rise up in ridges. It will settle back again. There will be sand. On top of the sand it will glisten," he said. "Old kelp will float ashore. Old whales will float ashore. "People will eat fish, big fish," he said. "Sea-lions will come ashore. They will eat them. They will be good. Devil-fish, although they are ugly looking, will be good. The people will eat them. The fish in the ocean will be fat. They will be good. "There will be many different kinds in the ocean. There will be water-panther. There will be stone-fish. He will catch people. Long-tooth-fish will kill sea-lion. He will feel around in the water. "Sea-lion will have no feet. He will have a tail. His teeth will be large. There will be no trees in the ocean. The water will be powerful in the ocean," he said. He placed redwoods and firs along the shore. At the tail of the earth, at the north, he made them grow. He placed land in walls along in front of the ocean. From the north he put down rocks here and there. Over there the ocean beats against them. Far to the south he did that. He stood up pines along the way. He placed yellow pines. Far away he placed them. He placed mountains along in front of the water. He did not stop putting them up even way to the south. Redwoods and various pines were growing. He looked back and saw them growing. The redwoods had become tall. He placed stones along. He made small creeks by dragging along his foot. "Wherever they flow this water will be good," he said. "They will drink this. Only the ocean they will not drink." He made trees spring up. When he looked behind himself he saw they had grown. When he came near water-head-place (south) he said to himself, "It is good that they are growing up." He made creeks along. "This water they will drink," he said. That is why all drink, many different kinds of animals. "Because the water is good, because it is not salt, deer, elk, panther, and fishers will drink of it," he said. He caused trees to grow up along. When he looked behind himself he saw they had grown up. "Birds will drink, squirrels will drink," he said. "Many different kinds will drink. I am placing good water along the way." Many redwoods grew up. He placed water along toward the south. He kicked out springs. "There will be springs," he said. "These will belong to the deer," he said of the deer-licks. He took along a dog. "Drink this water," he told his dog. He, himself, drank of it. "All, many different kinds of animals and birds, will drink of it," he said. Tanbark oaks he made to spring up along the way. Many kinds, redwoods, firs, and pines he caused to grow. He placed water along. He made creeks with his foot. To make valleys for the streams he placed the land on edge. The mountains were large. They had grown. "Let acorns grow," he said. He looked back at the ocean, and at the trees and rocks he had placed along. "The water is good, they will drink it," he said. He placed redwoods, firs, and tanbark oaks along the way. He stood up land and made the mountains. "They shall become large," he said of the redwoods. He went around the earth, dragging his foot to make the streams and placing redwoods, firs, pines, oaks, and chestnut trees. When he looked back he saw the rocks had become large, and the mountains loomed up. He drank of the water and called it good. "I have arranged it that rocks shall be around the water," he said. "Drink," he told his dog. "Many animals will drink this good water." He placed rocks and banks. He put along the way small white stones. He stood up white and black oaks. Sugar-pines and firs he planted one in a place. "I will try the water," he said. "Drink, my dog." The water was good. He dragged along his foot, making creeks. He placed the rocks along and turned to look at them. "Drink, my dog," he said. "I, too, will drink. Grizzlies, all kinds of animals, and human beings will drink the water which I have placed among the rocks." He stood up the mountains. He placed the trees along, the firs and the oaks. He caused the pines to grow up. He placed the redwoods one in a place. He threw salamanders and turtles into the creeks. "Eels will live in this stream," he said. "Fish will come into it. Hook-bill and black salmon will run up this creek. Last of all steel-heads will swim in it. Crabs, small eels, and day-eels will come up. "Grizzlies will live in large numbers on this mountain. On this mountain will be many deer. The people will eat them. Because they have no gall they may be eaten raw. Deer meat will be very sweet. Panthers will be numerous. There will be many jack-rabbits on this mountain," he said. He did not like yellow-jackets. He nearly killed them. He made blue-flies and wasps. His dog walked along with him. "There will be much water in this stream," he said. "This will be a small creek and the fish will run in it. The fish will be good. There will be many suckers and trout in this stream." "There will be brush on this mountain," he said. He made manzanita and white-thorn grow there. "Here will be a valley. Here will be many deer. There will be many grizzlies at this place. Here a mountain will stand. Many rattlesnakes, bull snakes, and water snakes will be in this place. Here will be good land. It shall be a valley." He placed fir trees, yellow-pines, oaks, and redwoods one at a place along the way. He put down small grizzly bears. "The water will be bad. It will be black here," he said. "There will be many owls here, the barking-owl, the screech-owl, and the little owl. There shall be many blue jays, grouse, and quails. Here on this mountain will be many wood-rats. Here shall be many varied robins. There shall be many woodcocks, yellow-hammers, and sap-suckers. Here will be many mocking-birds and meadowlarks. Here will be herons and blackbirds. There will be many turtle-doves and pigeons. The kingfishers will catch fish. There will be many buzzards and ravens. There will be many chicken-hawks. There will be many robins. On this high mountain there will be many deer," he said. "Let there be a valley here," he said. "There will be fir trees, some small and some large. Let the rain fall. Let it snow. Let there be hail. Let the clouds come. When it rains let the streams increase, let the water be high, let it become muddy. When the rain stops let the water become good again," he said. He came back. "Walk behind me, my dog," he said. "We will look at what has taken place." Trees had grown. Fish were in the streams. The rocks had become large. It was good. He traveled fast. "Come, walk fast, my dog," he said. The land had become good. The valleys had become broad. All kinds of trees and plants had sprung up. Springs had become and the water was flowing.

![]() | Gabbeh rugs are a type of Persian rug that originated in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. The word "Gabbeh" means "raw" or "natural" in Persian, and refers to the rough, unfinished look of these rugs. Gabbeh rugs are known for their thick pile, which is made from hand-spun wool and gives them a luxurious, plush feel underfoot. submitted by AlvinLenin to u/AlvinLenin [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/df82y5k8sw2b1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e641cb3a3f059434ddde5c3e68ae40ce8581e8d Gabbeh rugs are often woven by nomadic tribes in Iran, and are intended to be functional as well as beautiful. They are used as floor coverings, wall hangings, and even as blankets. The designs on Gabbeh rugs often reflect the natural landscapes and surroundings of the weavers, featuring abstract patterns and bold colors. History of Gabbeh RugsGabbeh rugs have a rich history that dates back to ancient Persia. The earliest known Gabbeh rug dates back to the 17th century, and was discovered in the village of Qashqa'i in southern Iran. These rugs were originally woven by nomadic tribes as a way to insulate their tents and protect themselves from the harsh climate of the Zagros Mountains. https://preview.redd.it/velnpfhasw2b1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce4b176376017a9250688cec1ac2489b35744c46 Over time, Gabbeh rugs became prized possessions and were traded throughout the Middle East and Europe. In the 20th century, the popularity of Gabbeh rugs began to spread outside of Iran, and they are now highly sought after by collectors and interior designers around the world. Different types of Gabbeh RugsThere are several different types of Gabbeh rugs, each with their own unique characteristics. The two most common types of Gabbeh rugs are Persian Gabbeh and Indian Gabbeh. https://preview.redd.it/79l38a8esw2b1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1fc2c2fcf4a99332f00d3edec9bcaa18377ab90f Persian Gabbeh rugs are known for their tribal designs and natural color palette. They are typically made from high-quality wool and feature thick, plush piles. Indian Gabbeh rugs, on the other hand, are often made from lower-quality wool and have a more limited color palette. They are also typically less expensive than Persian Gabbeh rugs. |

2023.05.30 06:53 sumitgusain22 Dances with Wolves
![]() | submitted by sumitgusain22 to u/sumitgusain22 [link] [comments] Dances with Wolves Dances with Wolves" is an epic Western film directed by Kevin Costner, released in 1990. Set during the American Civil War, the movie tells the story of Lieutenant John J. Dunbar, a Union Army officer who is sent to an isolated western frontier outpost on the Great Plains., I'll provide you with a detailed summary of the film, ensuring no plagiarism. The film begins with Lieutenant John J. Dunbar (played by Kevin Costner) being assigned to an abandoned fort located deep in the Dakota Territory. The fort, named Fort Sedgewick, is situated on the western frontier, miles away from any major settlements. Dunbar arrives at the fort, expecting to find a bustling outpost, but instead discovers it deserted and in disarray. Left alone to tend to the fort, Dunbar slowly becomes fascinated by the vastness and beauty of the untamed wilderness surrounding him. He spends his days exploring the landscape, hunting, and making observations in his journal. As he becomes more comfortable in his solitary existence, he develops a profound appreciation for the natural world and begins to understand the Native American tribes that inhabit the area. One day, Dunbar encounters a wolf and starts to develop a bond with it. He names the wolf "Two Socks" and considers it his only companion in this isolated environment. This connection with nature brings him peace and a sense of belonging that he has not experienced before. Dunbar's life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a group of Sioux Indians while out on a hunting expedition. Initially, both parties are cautious and wary of each other, but Dunbar's genuine curiosity and respect for their culture eventually wins them over. Kicking Bird, the Sioux medicine man, and Wind In His Hair, a brave warrior, become particularly interested in Dunbar and his willingness to learn about their way of life. The Sioux gradually accept Dunbar into their tribe, and he begins to live among them, adopting their customs and learning their language. He becomes known as "Dances with Wolves" due to his willingness to immerse himself in their culture. As Dunbar integrates with the tribe, he also forms a deep connection with Stands with a Fist, a white woman who was previously captured by the Sioux as a child and raised as one of their own. Throughout the film, Dunbar witnesses the hardships and struggles faced by the Sioux tribe. He witnesses their struggles with the Pawnee, another Native American tribe, as well as the encroachment of white settlers who are rapidly expanding westward. Dunbar becomes increasingly sympathetic to the Sioux's plight and begins to question his own allegiances as a soldier in the Union Army. As tensions rise between the Sioux and the U.S. Army, Dunbar's loyalty becomes divided. He is torn between his duty to his fellow soldiers and his newfound love and respect for the Sioux people. Ultimately, when the U.S. Army arrives with the intention of removing the Sioux from their land, Dunbar decides to take a stand and helps the Sioux escape, leading them to a safe haven far from the reach of the Army. In the film's poignant conclusion, Dunbar is forced to bid farewell to his Sioux family and returns to Fort Sedgewick. However, he finds the fort has been taken over by the U.S. Army, and he is now seen as a traitor. Dunbar chooses to defy the Army's orders and rides off into the wilderness with Two Socks, leaving his former life behind. "Dances with Wolves" is a powerful and thought-provoking film that explores themes of cultural identity, environmentalism, and the destructive nature of colonization. It portrays the Native American tribes with dignity and challenges the viewer to question the assumptions and prejudices ingrained in Western society. Through the eyes of Lieutenant John J. Dunbar, the film offers a glimpse into a world of harmony and respect between cultures that were, ultimately, torn apart by greed and misunderstanding. "Dances with Wolves," directed by Kevin Costner, is a critically acclaimed film that garnered both commercial success and critical acclaim upon its release in 1990. The movie tells the story of Lieutenant John J. Dunbar, a Union Army officer who forms a deep connection with a Sioux tribe during the American Civil War. As with any piece of art, "Dances with Wolves" has its strengths and weaknesses, which we will explore in this article. This analysis aims to provide a balanced view of the movie's positive and negative aspects, while refraining from plagiarism. Positive Aspects: Cultural Sensitivity: One of the standout merits of "Dances with Wolves" is its portrayal of Native American culture. The film treats the Sioux tribe with respect and dignity, avoiding stereotypical depictions. It emphasizes their rich traditions, spirituality, and interconnectedness with nature. By showcasing their customs, language, and community dynamics, the movie serves as an educational and enlightening platform, challenging preconceived notions and fostering cultural appreciation. Cinematic Beauty: Visually, "Dances with Wolves" is a feast for the eyes. The cinematography, captured by Dean Semler, vividly captures the awe-inspiring landscapes of the American frontier. From sweeping prairies to majestic mountains, the film's breathtaking scenery immerses viewers in the untamed beauty of the wilderness. The visuals enhance the storytelling, creating a sense of wonder and enhancing the emotional impact of the narrative. Emotional Depth: The movie excels in its exploration of complex emotions and character development. Lieutenant Dunbar's journey from a disillusioned soldier to someone who finds purpose and belonging in the Sioux tribe is emotionally compelling. The film delves into themes of identity, cultural assimilation, and the devastating consequences of colonization. Through nuanced performances, particularly by Kevin Costner and Mary McDonnell, the audience is emotionally invested in the characters and their struggles. Negative Aspects: Lengthy Runtime: At nearly three hours, "Dances with Wolves" may be perceived as overly long by some viewers. The deliberate pacing, while integral to character development, might test the patience of those seeking a more fast-paced narrative. The film's unhurried approach may lead to occasional lulls that could potentially impact engagement. Simplistic Portrayal of White Characters: While the film admirably portrays the Sioux tribe with depth and authenticity, some critics argue that the white characters, especially the soldiers, are depicted in a more one-dimensional manner. Their actions and motivations are often portrayed as solely driven by greed or ignorance, which can be seen as a missed opportunity to explore their complexities and provide a more nuanced portrayal of historical context. Limited Native American Perspectives: While the film centers on Lieutenant Dunbar's experiences and his interaction with the Sioux, some argue that it lacks multiple Native American perspectives. The focus on the white protagonist could inadvertently perpetuate the narrative of a white savior, where the hero's journey dominates over the voices and agency of the Native American characters. Conclusion: "Dances with Wolves" stands as a monumental film that left a lasting impact on both audiences and the film industry. Kevin Costner's directorial debut succeeded in creating a visually stunning and emotionally resonant narrative that explored themes of cultural understanding, identity, and the devastating consequences of colonization. While the film garnered critical acclaim and numerous accolades, it is essential to analyze its overall impact, strengths, and weaknesses without plagiarism. The film's portrayal of Native American culture and the Sioux tribe, in particular, deserves recognition for its cultural sensitivity and authenticity. By showcasing their customs, language, and spirituality, "Dances with Wolves" fostered understanding and challenged preconceived notions prevalent in Western society. The movie served as a catalyst for appreciating the rich traditions of Native American communities, shedding light on their historical struggles and resilience. Visually, "Dances with Wolves" captivated audiences with its breathtaking cinematography. Dean Semler's work behind the camera vividly captured the untamed beauty of the American frontier, enveloping viewers in the vast landscapes and evoking a sense of awe. The imagery added depth to the storytelling, creating an immersive experience that enhanced the emotional impact of the narrative. Emotionally, "Dances with Wolves" delved into the complexities of human connection and identity. The transformation of Lieutenant John J. Dunbar, played by Kevin Costner, from a disillusioned soldier to an individual who finds purpose and belonging within the Sioux tribe was a powerful and compelling journey. The performances, particularly by Costner and Mary McDonnell, added layers of depth and vulnerability to the characters, eliciting empathy from the audience. However, the film is not without its flaws. Its lengthy runtime, approaching three hours, could be seen as a drawback for viewers seeking a more fast-paced narrative. The deliberate pacing, while essential for character development, might test the patience of some viewers, potentially leading to moments of disengagement. Critics have also pointed out that the film's depiction of white characters, particularly the soldiers, is sometimes one-dimensional. Their actions and motivations are primarily portrayed as driven by greed or ignorance, which misses an opportunity to explore their complexities and provide a more nuanced portrayal of the historical context. Additionally, while the film admirably portrayed the Sioux tribe, some argue that it lacked multiple Native American perspectives. By primarily focusing on the experiences of Lieutenant Dunbar, "Dances with Wolves" unintentionally perpetuated the narrative of a white savior. It could have further explored and elevated the voices and agency of the Native American characters, providing a more comprehensive understanding of their culture and experiences. In conclusion, "Dances with Wolves" remains a significant and impactful film that ignited important discussions about cultural understanding, historical accuracy, and representation in cinema. Its cultural sensitivity, visual splendor, and emotional depth captivated audiences and left an indelible mark on popular culture. While acknowledging the film's strengths, such as its portrayal of Native American culture, it is essential to critically analyze its weaknesses, including its runtime and limited perspectives, to foster ongoing dialogue and progress in cinematic storytelling |
