The Smart Woman Chief
- I thought it was interesting that men and women didn't know of the other gender for a while
- I also liked the part where the woman taught the man a lesson
- "If they can't handle you at your worst, they sure don't deserve you at your best"
- ^^ Basically the vibe I got from the end of the story
Bobcat and the Birch Tree
- Two origin stories in this one!!! Why bobcats look the way they do, and how birch trees got their pattern.
- Also.. how does the Old Man have powers? Where did he get them from? Was he born that way or did he do something to get those? In either case, an evil man like that shouldn't be able to have powers.
The Red-Eyed Duck
- Another origin story!
- I can't believe the Old Man was going about on his way and the ducks asked him to stop for a song and dance, and he did that to them!
- If they hadn't asked him to dance and sing, would he have just gone about his way??

Kut-O-Yis, The Blood Boy
- This was a really interesting story!! It was split up into 5 parts and I was drawn in immediately
- Seemed like some sort of super-hero, who killed all the bad guys (and girls) and saved all the people in distress
- I may retell this story and make a super-hero story out of it!
- The way Kut-O-Yis was born was a little weird and confusing, so I could focus on just that part if I wanted.. we'll see!
