Hello dear listeners! A new Native American story ('The Two Wolves') is out now - check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNRkg6pjyM-UpKs.html xxx

Just as I always say " True kindness shall be awarded, True cruelty shall be punished".

Nothing but love brothers and sisters May God the Father and Creator in Heaven bless us all abundantly

The Brothers Grimm did not write any of their own stories, but collected legends that where told long before their birth... I can definitely see the similarities between this legend and the Cinderella story. Thank you for posting🙏🏻💗

My english teacher linked us this video during the whole e-learning pandemic and we get to do an assignment about this video and 2 other videos and stories. I'm really glad that we are doing this assignment since I have watched this video as a choice before and really enjoyed it.

a beautiful story. i wish we could learn more of the native americans stories. as an american who is not native i get why they dont share much info with us but their stories are fantastic and have very deep moral lessons. the world could use such lessons.

that was a wonderfull story. you told it in such a wonderfull way, i thank you. my family and i are being mistreated so much in real life, and your story was like a soothing drink to me. truly, to be mistreated every day and then to hear a story about someone mistreated, who did not give up and kept her best qualities and perservered...it really means allot. i wish i could give you a gift as kind as the one you gave, in telling this story to us. please, keep going . tell more stories of morals and depth . this society is so cold and lacking of morals and integrity, that people like me feel starved when we are out into the world (or online at places like youtube). if it were not for my wonderfull family (of which Avatar Galextra is the main reason) i would have starved and died from the lack of depth, morals and kindness in this world. please if you can, please keep telling stories about heroes and depth and morals. i wish the best to you and your family, blessings. -- MK

Wado for sharing your gift with everyone needing to be reminded of our Sacred Journey. Many blessings to you and your loved ones Tudjaat.

My husband was a storyteller. Loved hearing your beautiful story thank you for sharing

The native American Cinderella story is a beautiful tale.💖

Great story. Didn't understand the direction it was going at 1st, til the rainbow & milky way, but was a great illustration of the connection humans have to the earth & stars, that r no longer visible 2 those who forgot how to c & hear. Its a shame how disconnected most people r now, from all of it.

I hope I can tell stories as well as you to the next generation. Thank you for sharing your talent! 😊

I remember hearing this as a boy and always remembered it but couldn’t remember the name. I’ve always loved it.

Such a great inner appreciation of the true legends of this world. Very beautifully read. Thank you for sharing and making this video 🙏🏼💕🌈👏🏽

I always loved the Native American's tales of legend and lesson. I thought you read it well, and I feel privileged to have found this video. Thank you. ^^

Hello lovely listeners. I'm super excited to announce my new collection of stories called 'Tales by the Fireplace' - Check out the first story here!! Mimi xx kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d7CFo9aXmcCun30.html

I adore stories like this. They have a calming effect on me like nothing else in this world.

What a great story Thank you for telling these stories and keeping Native Pride alive a'ho

My first time hearing from NZ✌🏾some great lessons right there many blessings. May you breathe the breath of life🌬 Edit: all is hidden from, Strong of purpose and true of heart.

I really enjoyed that legend. You recited it beautifully. I love your voice, it's so calming.

The moral of the story is to love someone for who they are not what they have and the truth is much more a gift than lying in saying that you sawl something that you didn't see.

I can't explain why I love native American stories especially the music but I liked the story...

Blessings may the great spirit bring you blessings as he has brought me

Wow. . I can see the falling leafs. Through time and history, your legend lives on. Bless all who can see.

Thank you for the beautiful music! I’d heard a version of this tale called “The Hidden One”. I clicked hoping it might be the same story 🙏🏾 Be Well, Go Carefully 🖖

These stories set deep within me as I can't explain why, but these past couple of years I have felt the power, love, warmth and the sorrow of our mother

Wisdom stories are much desired and must be shared to all. This is the larger continuum we all want.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God. Bless you immensely!🙏🏼❤️

This story lines up with Christ the Son of God. No one can see Him, unless you have a eyes to see and ears to hear, in the spirit. In the spirit we are changed into His image once again. Light, love. Awesome Story.

I think this is my favourite of all your stories, Mimi.

Wonderful story. Like many Native stories it teaches life lessons!!!

I fell in love with this story in 1997 or 1996 , from a book in my elementary school library! It had amazingly beautiful artwork. And the story was much more detailed!!!!! But remember it .!❤❤❤❤

I FEEL SOMEONE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERCHING FOR ME AND I FOR HIM.,

This was my favorite story as a child, it makes me so happy to hear it. Thank you💚

How interesting! Thank you for posting this story! :) I can see why this story is often compared to Cinderella. But I also saw some similarities to the original Beauty and the Beast. In the original telling of that story, Belle had two older, spoiled sisters. After Belle married the Beast turned prince, Belle invited her father and sisters to come live in the castle with them. The family wasn't there for long when the sisters were so jealous of Belle that they took her and drowned her in a bathtub. But in another twist, the same sorceress who cursed the prince revived Belle, and told her that in order to punish her sisters properly, they had to be turned into two stone columns, and if anyone would fall in love with them, they would become human again. How like the ending of this story!

what a wonderful story!! oh, if only life could be so. ;)

Her sisters we're so mean to the young Maiden. But in the end she got a Wonderful Life. To live with the Great Warrior. This shows don't give up. Things will turn out for the best. Thank you for your beautiful story. Your voice was so low and very calming. God Bless you.

Truly beautiful, thank you, you made me shed tears. Lovely photos also. I feel terrible about what my kind did to these people though I ain't blonde nor have blue eyes. Thanks for sharing this story with such a beautiful, soothing voice, have subbed. Blessings to all assembled.

I am half native, but i have never heard about that beautiful story. I cried. Kindness and truth win!

I love this story, first hearing it at a storytelling festival in Oklahoma City over a decade ago. I wish I could remember the teller’s name. Beautiful tale, wonderfully told. You have such a nice, drawing voice.

Thank you for sharing an amazing bedtime story with us and the world!

Thank you, for telling, its such a wonderful story . a very affectionate thank you from germany

Absolutely beautiful story 🇬🇧

The Lovers, There once lived a chief's daughter who had many relations. All the young men in the village wanted to have her for wife, and were all eager to fill her skin bucket when she went to the brook for water. There was a young man in the village who was industrious and a good hunter; but he was poor and of a mean family. He loved the maiden and when she went for water, he threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her ear: "Be my wife. I have little but I am young and strong. I will treat you well, for I love you." For a long time the maiden did not answer, but one day she whispered back. "Yes, you may ask my father's leave to marry me. But first you must do something noble. I belong to a great family and have many relations. You must go on a war party and bring back the scalp of an enemy." The young man answered modestly, "I will try to do as you bid me. I am only a hunter, not a warrior. Whether I shall be brave or not I do not know. But I will try to take a scalp for your sake." So he made a war party of seven, himself and six other young men. They wandered through the enemy's country, hoping to get a chance to strike a blow. But none came, for they found no one of the enemy. "Our medicine is unfavorable," said their leader at last. "We shall have to return home." Before they started they sat down to smoke and rest beside a beautiful lake at the foot of a green knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll was covered with green grass and somehow as they looked at it they had a feeling that there was something about it that was mysterious or uncanny. But there was a young man in the party named the jester, for he was venturesome and full of fun. Gazing at the knoll he said: "Let's run and jump on its top." "No," said the young lover, "it looks mysterious. Sit still and finish your smoke." "Oh, come on, who's afraid," said the jester, laughing. "Come on you -- come on!" and springing to his feet he ran up the side of the knoll. Four of the young men followed. Having reached the top of the knoll all five began to jump and stamp about in sport, calling, "Come on, come on," to the others. Suddenly they stopped -- the knoll had begun to move toward the water. It was a gigantic turtle. The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run -- too late! Their feet by some power were held fast to the monster's back. "Help us -- drag us away," they cried; but the others could do nothing. In a few moments the waves had closed over them. The other two men, the lover and his friend, went on, but with heavy hearts, for they had forebodings of evil. After some days, they came to a river. Worn with fatigue the lover threw himself down on the bank. "I will sleep awhile," he said, "for I am wearied and worn out." "And I will go down to the water and see if I can chance upon a dead fish. At this time of the year the high water may have left one stranded on the sea-shore," said his friend. And as he had said, he found a fish which he cleaned, and then called to the lover. "Come and eat the fish with me. I have cleaned it and made a fire and it is now cooking." "No, you eat it; let me rest," said the lover. "Oh, come on." "No, let me rest." "But you are my friend. I will not eat unless you share it with me." "Very well," said the lover, "I will eat the fish with you, but you must first make me a promise. If I eat the fish, you must promise, pledge yourself, to fetch me all the water that I can drink." "I promise," said the other, and the two ate the fish out of their war-kettle. For there had been but one kettle for the party. When they had eaten, the kettle was rinsed out and the lover's friend brought it back full of water. This the lover drank at a draught. "Bring me more," he said. Again his friend filled the kettle at the river and again the lover drank it dry. "More!" he cried. "Oh, I am tired. Cannot you go to the river and drink your fill from the stream?" asked his friend. "Remember your promise." "Yes, but I am weary. Go now and drink." "Ek-hey, I feared it would be so. Now trouble is coming upon us," said the lover sadly. He walked to the river, sprang in, and lying down in the water with his head toward land, drank greedily. By and by he called to his friend. "Come hither, you who have been my sworn friend. See what comes of your broken promise." The friend came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a fish from his feet to his middle. Sick at heart he ran off a little way and threw himself upon the ground in grief. By and by he returned. The lover was now a fish to his neck. "Cannot I cut off the part and restore you by a sweat bath?" the friend asked. "No, it is too late. But tell the chief's daughter that I loved her to the last and that I die for her sake. Take this belt and give it to her. She gave it to me as a pledge of her love for me," and he being then turned to a great fish, swam to the middle of the river and there remained, only his great fin remaining above the water. The friend went home and told his story. There was great mourning over the death of the five young men, and for the lost lover. In the river the great fish remained, its fin just above the surface, and was called by the Indians "Fish that Bars," because it bar'd navigation. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor around the obstruction. The chief's daughter mourned for her lover as for a husband, nor would she be comforted. "He was lost for love of me, and I shall remain as his widow," she wailed. In her mother's tepee she sat, with her head covered with her robe, silent, working, working. "What is my daughter doing," her mother asked. But the maiden did not reply. The days lengthened into moons until a year had passed. And then the maiden arose. In her hands were beautiful articles of clothing, enough for three men. There were three pairs of moccasins, three pairs of leggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco "Make a new canoe of bark," she said, which was made for her. Into the canoe she stepped and floated slowly down the river toward the great fish. "Come back my daughter," her mother cried in agony. "Come back. The great fish will eat you." She answered nothing. Her canoe came to the place where the great fin arose and stopped, its prow grating on the monster's back. The maiden stepped out boldly. One by one she laid her presents on the fish's back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad spine. "Oh, fish," she cried, "Oh, fish, you who were my lover, I shall not forget you. Because you were lost for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall remain a widow. Take these presents. And now leave the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may once more descend in their canoes." She stepped into her canoe and waited. Slowly the great fish sank, his broad fin disappeared, and the waters of the St. Croix ~~~Jack Crow~~~

It is wonderful to hear this story. Thank you so much.

What a great story, a very beautiful story in fact. There is a lot of truth to what ever you put out there will come back to you, so be good to one another. Love one another. Look to help whoever needs help. Our CREATOR sees all...
