"You don't have anything, if you don't have the stories"
This line stood out to me the most because I feel like before people had technology like today in order to keep people's culture alive we told stories. I think stories also help us learn and remember the history of things that could easily be forgotten otherwise.

On the first line of the poem, "Remember", it says, "Remember the Sky that you were born under, know each of the star's stories."  I think this means that if we take the time to understand everybody's(the stars) stories, then it will be easier for everybody to respect each other and life.

Reflect:  I think this poem is telling us to pay attention to what is around us and how we are all connected in different ways.

Connect:  This connects with the creation story because this poem and the creation story talk about how we need to remember our history and that we are all connected in some way or another.

"Their evil is mighty, but it cant stand up to our stories. So they try to destroy them." This stood out to me because it says a lot about where native people are today.  A majority of natives had their land stolen and now live on reservations. People often ignore their stories or make it seem like what happened to them wasn't that bad.

"Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too. Talk to them, listen to them."
This teaches us about culture, beliefs, etc. because you have to realize that not everyone comes from the same place and same culture. Everyone's perspective on the world and culture is always different.

in the poem Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko in stanza 3 lines 1-2 it says their evil is mighty but it can't stand up to our stories. those two lines teach us that they believe in perseverance. how they won't give in to someone just because they are evil.

"Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories too. Talk to them, Listen to them. They are alive poems."
I think this is a very cool quote that shows their connection to the things around them and how they like to learn,and just make a good relationship with them because they realize they are not the only people on earth. So this shows they value nature and wildlife and love to learn their stories as well, which was a similar theme of the TED talk we watched.

"you don't have anything if you don't have the stories" You get a sense of how important stories to the author. The author focuses on how much you can learn from stories. It also was bout how powerful stories can be.

"The blood of the whole human race is invested in it."
This line is important because it represents his views on how humans should treat their environment. Throughout the poem, he states that humans should know the world as if it were themself, he then uses these descriptors to form the conclusion that humans are part of nature.
Reflecting on the poem I can gather that he holds life as a priority and wishes that other people did the same.
This poem connects to the creation stories by describing the importance of the world.

"You don't have anything if you don't have stories"  What I got from this line is the idea of spreading ideas and information to other nations and other people.  Stories recount the history of the people, to tell where they came from, or to relate to exploits of a particular hero or person.

"I will tell you something about stories, They aren't just entertainment" I chose this because it feel like stories can tell you a background about something or someone and they can also tell you about different things

# data[].attributes.body
"They aren’t just entertainment.

Don’t be fooled" I feel like this is a very true statement for anyone in life that we seek for entertainment from people that we know and love to much sometimes. I learned that it important to cherish the moments you have with people who entertain you because you never know when it will be the last time. I feel that I connect to this because I look for entertainment from my friends a lot more than i had thought

# data[].attributes.body
"I will tell you something about stories, they aren't just entertainment" It means that the stories give us either a teaching or another way to see the world, not just fun or entertainment

"You don't have anything if you don't have the stories." This quote in the text stood out to me because it is the backbone of all literature and history. If it was not spoken from generation to generation then we wouldn't have majority of our early early history as it is today. Whether all of these stories are accurate or not is another question; however, these stories represent us as humans and describe our heritage.

"I will tell you something about stories,
[he said]
They aren't just entertainment"

I think when she (and he) said this, they meant that stories are so much more than just a fun thing to talk about and they tell the stories of people, not just characters

"Remember the plants, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too."  This is telling me that they value other people's histories and other thing's backgrounds. That they are trying to make it aware that their one perspective is not the only one in the world. The creation story had animals and plants in them so these other beings are also apart of their story.

"Once in his life a man ought to concentrate his mind upon

the remembered earth, I believe. He ought to give himself up

to a particular landscape in his experience, to look at it from''
Reflect: I learned that it is important to look back on your life and remember all the experiences you had.
Inspect: I feel like he is saying to be thankful for life
Connect: This connects to Ute creation stories because both of them view earth in the same sense as a gift.

as many angles as he can, to wonder about it, to dwell upon

it.

"And in the belly of this story the rituals and ceremony are still growing"
This specific sentence stood out to me because even after this poem is done/ made there are still changes that are happening outside of the poem.

Inspect- "It is the entity from which we are sprung, and that into which

we are dissolved in time.". This line stood out to me because I thought the diction he chose was really beautiful and encompassed how humans are a part of nature.
Reflect-From this poem, I learned that the speaker reveres nature and earth and that it is most likely a huge part of his culture.
Connect- This poem is similar to the Ute Creation stories because they both have this deep respect for nature and it is reflected both by the words of the Ute and by N. Scott, Monday.

"they are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death" I learned here that  the stories were very important to them that they must take care of their traditions or they might be lost.

"Remember the plant, trees, animal life who all have their tribes, their families, their histories, too." (lines 14-15)
this specific quote really resonated with me because it explained how all plants and animals have similar history and life as we did.

In this context, I would say that the "they" the passage is referring to would be the white people. It goes along with the knowledge I already have about the boarding schools. This line also has the word "try" - insinuating that the people who were to destroy it were unsuccessful.

" He rubbed his Belly"
the significant behind this is him telling that the stories are in him.
I can connect that they don't want their history to die and want it to always be there.
