Digital Story Creation

SALMON BOY

As a teacher in Alaska I have found that incorporating Native American culture is very important. To emphasize the importance of Native culture I chose a native story that I was told as a child. As with almost all stories, Tlingit stories come with a moral or lesson. This particular story incorporates the Salmon and the importance of the Salmon to Southeast Alaska.

The boy in the story shows disrespect for the food provided and must be taught a lesson. The lesson that the boy is taught teaches him that what we take must be put back. Also if we have to account for everything we take we will be much more careful about the environment. This story is a way to incorporate a simple moral of conservation and recycling into a memorable story.
