Cherokee Legend Retold For Contest Native American Collage

“Grandfather, grandfather! At school today, a classmate hit me with a book. The teacher made him stay inside for recess. She said he was a good boy who did a bad thing. What did she mean?” “Grandson, I will tell you a story. All men have inside of them two wolves. One wolf is all that is good in the world: the bravery of our fathers, the strength of our mothers, kindness toward friends, compassion for our elders. The other wolf is all that is bad in the world: the hatred of one man for another murder and theft among the clan envy, sorrow, regret--- all that is evil among man.” “And Grandfather, which wolf wins? The one that you feed, grandson. The one that you feed.”
