    My family come from some blackfoot people. My great great grandma was adopted out of the tribe by carnival gypsies. They put her on display as an attraction. We've got some pictures of her back then. Its cool but I always wonder how she got separated from her people.

    So, what? You tell folk tales from cultures around the world? Interesting, perhaps you could do the creation myth of the Nuu Chah Nulth first nation of the Pacific North West region? I've only heard it once and it was very different than the typical "Turtle Island" myth that most learned in school. Their territory is just south of the Nootka peoples, that may be more familiar? Thanks for the video, I'm keen to check out some of the Slavic folklore you did. Cheers.

    It's interesting how there are so many of these stories where two girls are both given instructions while on a journey and one girl obeys and in rewarded while the other disobeys and is punished. It's a very pervasive formula. I will totally be saying "then ill luck be with you" in everyday life now…

    I have been to the depths of the ocean making friends with huge creatures. At first the fear was great, however I longer I staid the most comfortable I got. Past life eaten by a shark, my only thought was how would I be buried as I seen my lifeless body sink to the depths. When I wake from meditation I opened past lives of who I was before to come home to my heart. I am the ocean and the earth in which time and space has a vivid language of soul retrieve for our highest good. Loving kindness ❤❤❤❤

    It took me like 10 minutes to even figure out what to google but I’m so glad I found this video. My dad used to tell me this all the time as a kid and he did write it down somewhere, but I think I lost it. I wanted to be able to tell my boyfriend about it and know it for our future kids.

    • @johns9652

      Yes! I too grew up with this story, and it took me several minutes to find the right search terms. I also had to explain to my wife that a stile was an old ladder used to cross fences on farms.

      When I was a kid, my family had this 10 or 12 book set of old stories, like Hans Christian Anderson, and Brothers Grimm stuff. It included things like Rumplestiltskin and Jack and the Bean Stalk. Not the Disney versions, but the original tales with tragic endings and violence. This story was one of those in that series of books, and I made sure to claim them when my parents passed. Sadly, my kids do not hold books in as high a regard as I, and some of these classics are now missing their covers or have dogearred pages.
