These stories tell of how the land\u00a0<\/span>was made, how her people lived and survived for thousands of years. Many of\u00a0<\/span>these stories refer to how everything in nature exists in balance but more\u00a0<\/span>importantly depict morals and teachings to live harmoniously with each other,\u00a0<\/span>while caring for the land, the water, and all living things.
