I haven't finished reading the section on the myths, but they present explanations of natural phenomena as reasoned out by intelligent thinkers who had no access to telescopes, microscopes and all the other trappings of science. These stories are also presented in a matter-of-fact, respectful way. He mentions that some of the myths are "too bawdy" to include in this book, but he does include the story of the first man causing the first woman, his sister, to have a baby when he "struck her with a fish." After several generations with a gestation period of 7 days, it was decided that the world was getting overcrowded and henceforth, there would be just one baby per woman per year. As with any good myth, the story doesn't include the details of how this was put into effect. My guess is that changing the method of impregnation caused a longer pregnancy. The storyteller would probably answer this question with "What do YOU think?"
Scholarly but not stuffy, this is a very interesting and informative read, which expands on what I learned from exhibits at The Museum of the Cherokee Indian in Cherokee, NC.
