Legends have been told for many years, however some legends are modify to fit the audience. Since some are told orally things can be retold differently and there's a new legends created. Native Americans had their own traditions. Society might see their tradition weird now, since time has changed. Native American's used nature to their advantage. Medicine, stories, protection, etc. It's important for legends to be retold because we don't want these stories to die out. These legends that are retold in the reading were very interesting. The one I liked the most was "When Grizzlies Walked Upright" it talks about how the Mount Shasta was created. Also how birds, fish, trees, and plants. Overall how nature was created. This legend might be important to them because they care and use nature in many ways.
