Keep the Tribe Alive
We were learning about local Native American cultures and legends in elementary school. One legend had all the men go off to fight except one boy, and it was left to him to continue the tribe’s existence.
We got in a debate with a girl who loudly asked why didn’t he just go and die too, saying that the women can keep the tribe alive. Being worldly and having had “the talk” already, I tried to explain that there would be no more tribe without at least one guy present.
She yelled back, “That’s not true! We know how to fish”! I had to be told to sit outside because I couldn’t stop laughing.
