Poetic Stories of Native Americans

Hunger led you through the Bering Straits to discover new possibilities in the foreign, distant land. You were hunters, brave and great, chasing animals for your survival, walking thousands of miles – hunting to sustain existence. Your other brothers, set sail in their catamarans from Polynesian Islands through the ocean expanses. Roaring winds, mass of water, walls of treacherous waves, sinking many of your boats - huge billows of water were falling to the abyss, on your ships. The bravest of you, came to the new shores of imaginary, fantastic worlds. Then, thousands of years later came hostile brothers to the lands of yours. They put claim on your dominion and they diminished many Native Nations. Ancient ways of life those of yours, distinct culture, which they wrongly understood, putting their seal of polluted world.
