Hello dear listeners! A new Native American story ('The Two Wolves') is out now - check it out! ua-cam.com/video/zn4PG2ci0tw/v-deo.html xxx
Just as I always say " True kindness shall be awarded, True cruelty shall be punished".
But no good deed goes unpunished.
Invisible warriors attach something to me so they can find me when I am away from native American lands. They spend their days harassing me, stealing from me, and ruining my thoughts.
I count on that.
I like to think that is a natural way myself, but the age is vice versa. We will prevail.
Bill and Hillary just called, they want to know when?
Nothing but love brothers and sisters May God the Father and Creator in Heaven bless us all abundantly
The Brothers Grimm did not write any of their own stories, but collected legends that where told long before their birth... I can definitely see the similarities between this legend and the Cinderella story. Thank you for posting🙏🏻💗
a beautiful story. i wish we could learn more of the native americans stories. as an american who is not native i get why they dont share much info with us but their stories are fantastic and have very deep moral lessons. the world could use such lessons.
My husband was a storyteller. Loved hearing your beautiful story thank you for sharing
My english teacher linked us this video during the whole e-learning pandemic and we get to do an assignment about this video and 2 other videos and stories. I'm really glad that we are doing this assignment since I have watched this video as a choice before and really enjoyed it.
that was a wonderfull story. you told it in such a wonderfull way, i thank you. my family and i are being mistreated so much in real life, and your story was like a soothing drink to me. truly, to be mistreated every day and then to hear a story about someone mistreated, who did not give up and kept her best qualities and perservered...it really means allot.
i wish i could give you a gift as kind as the one you gave, in telling this story to us. please, keep going . tell more stories of morals and depth .
this society is so cold and lacking of morals and integrity, that people like me feel starved when we are out into the world (or online at places like youtube). if it were not for my wonderfull family (of which Avatar Galextra is the main reason) i would have starved and died from the lack of depth, morals and kindness in this world. please if you can, please keep telling stories about heroes and depth and morals. i wish the best to you and your family, blessings. -- MK

The native American Cinderella story is a beautiful tale.💖
Hello lovely listeners. I'm super excited to announce my new collection of stories called 'Tales by the Fireplace' - Check out the first story here!! Mimi xx ua-cam.com/video/AJUpsf4ZJoI/v-deo.html
My Grandmother's name was Minnow but everybody called her Mini . I can not explain why I am compelled to say this to you , I only know I am. May your footprint's leave blessings in the wake behind you , for all your days.
This story speaks to me as a deep river I have felt under my bare feet since I was a very little girl. Is this an old traditional story or a modern retelling or revision of an older one? It is beautiful and richly woven, crafted and told. It resonates the Higher Principles of truthfulness and desire for integrity that constitute the Foundation Stones for every good instructional tale.
It speaks of inner beauty and grace from the extremes finding one another within the other despite their extreme differences and the demands placed upon us by our own deceitful societal norms. It is transcendent and carries with it the hope of an eternal legacy within the witnesses of the earth.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Wonderful.
This was a Lovely Video, Thank You. I will be checking out your other videos , Just Beautiful !
Wado
I remember hearing this as a boy and always remembered it but couldn’t remember the name. I’ve always loved it.
Great story. Didn't understand the direction it was going at 1st, til the rainbow & milky way, but was a great illustration of the connection humans have to the earth & stars, that r no longer visible 2 those who forgot how to c & hear. Its a shame how disconnected most people r now, from all of it.
Such a great inner appreciation of the true legends of this world. Very beautifully read. Thank you for sharing and making this video 🙏🏼💕🌈👏🏽
Thank you so much for your lovely note
What a great story Thank you for telling these stories and keeping Native Pride alive a'ho
I adore stories like this. They have a calming effect on me like nothing else in this world.
Look shin stew ya pop was no prize..
These stories set deep within me as I can't explain why, but these past couple of years I have felt the power, love, warmth and the sorrow of our mother
I really enjoyed that legend. You recited it beautifully. I love your voice, it's so calming.
Sam Gill Thank you, Sam! More to come soon :)
It would have been better without the British accent. Told by a real native. In the native way. Great story.
Blessings may the great spirit bring you blessings as he has brought me
I always loved the Native American's tales of legend and lesson. I thought you read it well, and I feel privileged to have found this video. Thank you. ^^
GhostWolf130 A very touching comment. Thank you!
The moral of the story is to love someone for who they are not what they have and the truth is much more a gift than lying in saying that you sawl something that you didn't see.
:) Excellent analysis!
My first time hearing from NZ✌🏾some great lessons right there many blessings. May you breathe the breath of life🌬
Edit: all is hidden from, Strong of purpose and true of heart.
Wisdom stories are much desired and must be shared to all. This is the larger continuum we all want.
I can't explain why I love native American stories especially the music but I liked the story...
Wow. . I can see the falling leafs. Through time and history, your legend lives on. Bless all who can see.
Thank you for the beautiful music! I’d heard a version of this tale called “The Hidden One”. I clicked hoping it might be the same story 🙏🏾
Be Well, Go Carefully 🖖
Truly beautiful, thank you, you made me shed tears. Lovely photos also. I feel terrible about what my kind did to these people though I ain't blonde nor have blue eyes. Thanks for sharing this story with such a beautiful, soothing voice, have subbed. Blessings to all assembled.
Her sisters we're so mean to the young Maiden. But in the end she got a Wonderful Life. To live with the Great Warrior. This shows don't give up. Things will turn out for the best. Thank you for your beautiful story. Your voice was so low and very calming. God Bless you.
I am half native, but i have never heard about that beautiful story. I cried. Kindness and truth win!
The Lovers,
There once lived a chief's daughter who had many relations. All the young men in the village wanted to have her for wife, and were all eager to fill her skin bucket when she went to the brook for water.
There was a young man in the village who was industrious and a good hunter; but he was poor and of a mean family. He loved the maiden and when she went for water, he threw his robe over her head while he whispered in her ear:
"Be my wife. I have little but I am young and strong. I will treat you well, for I love you."
For a long time the maiden did not answer, but one day she whispered back.
"Yes, you may ask my father's leave to marry me. But first you must do something noble. I belong to a great family and have many relations. You must go on a war party and bring back the scalp of an enemy."
The young man answered modestly, "I will try to do as you bid me. I am only a hunter, not a warrior. Whether I shall be brave or not I do not know. But I will try to take a scalp for your sake."
So he made a war party of seven, himself and six other young men. They wandered through the enemy's country, hoping to get a chance to strike a blow. But none came, for they found no one of the enemy.
"Our medicine is unfavorable," said their leader at last. "We shall have to return home."
Before they started they sat down to smoke and rest beside a beautiful lake at the foot of a green knoll that rose from its shore. The knoll was covered with green grass and somehow as they looked at it they had a feeling that there was something about it that was mysterious or uncanny.
But there was a young man in the party named the jester, for he was venturesome and full of fun. Gazing at the knoll he said: "Let's run and jump on its top."
"No," said the young lover, "it looks mysterious. Sit still and finish your smoke."
"Oh, come on, who's afraid," said the jester, laughing. "Come on you -- come on!" and springing to his feet he ran up the side of the knoll.
Four of the young men followed. Having reached the top of the knoll all five began to jump and stamp about in sport, calling, "Come on, come on," to the others. Suddenly they stopped -- the knoll had begun to move toward the water. It was a gigantic turtle. The five men cried out in alarm and tried to run -- too late! Their feet by some power were held fast to the monster's back.
"Help us -- drag us away," they cried; but the others could do nothing. In a few moments the waves had closed over them.
The other two men, the lover and his friend, went on, but with heavy hearts, for they had forebodings of evil. After some days, they came to a river. Worn with fatigue the lover threw himself down on the bank.
"I will sleep awhile," he said, "for I am wearied and worn out."
"And I will go down to the water and see if I can chance upon a dead fish. At this time of the year the high water may have left one stranded on the sea-shore," said his friend.
And as he had said, he found a fish which he cleaned, and then called to the lover.
"Come and eat the fish with me. I have cleaned it and made a fire and it is now cooking."
"No, you eat it; let me rest," said the lover.
"Oh, come on."
"No, let me rest."
"But you are my friend. I will not eat unless you share it with me."
"Very well," said the lover, "I will eat the fish with you, but you must first make me a promise. If I eat the fish, you must promise, pledge yourself, to fetch me all the water that I can drink."
"I promise," said the other, and the two ate the fish out of their war-kettle. For there had been but one kettle for the party.
When they had eaten, the kettle was rinsed out and the lover's friend brought it back full of water. This the lover drank at a draught.
"Bring me more," he said.
Again his friend filled the kettle at the river and again the lover drank it dry.
"More!" he cried.
"Oh, I am tired. Cannot you go to the river and drink your fill from the stream?" asked his friend.
"Remember your promise."
"Yes, but I am weary. Go now and drink."
"Ek-hey, I feared it would be so. Now trouble is coming upon us," said the lover sadly. He walked to the river, sprang in, and lying down in the water with his head toward land, drank greedily. By and by he called to his friend.
"Come hither, you who have been my sworn friend. See what comes of your broken promise."
The friend came and was amazed to see that the lover was now a fish from his feet to his middle.
Sick at heart he ran off a little way and threw himself upon the ground in grief. By and by he returned. The lover was now a fish to his neck.
"Cannot I cut off the part and restore you by a sweat bath?" the friend asked.
"No, it is too late. But tell the chief's daughter that I loved her to the last and that I die for her sake. Take this belt and give it to her. She gave it to me as a pledge of her love for me," and he being then turned to a great fish, swam to the middle of the river and there remained, only his great fin remaining above the water.
The friend went home and told his story. There was great mourning over the death of the five young men, and for the lost lover. In the river the great fish remained, its fin just above the surface, and was called by the Indians "Fish that Bars," because it bar'd navigation. Canoes had to be portaged at great labor around the obstruction.
The chief's daughter mourned for her lover as for a husband, nor would she be comforted. "He was lost for love of me, and I shall remain as his widow," she wailed.
In her mother's tepee she sat, with her head covered with her robe, silent, working, working. "What is my daughter doing," her mother asked. But the maiden did not reply.
The days lengthened into moons until a year had passed. And then the maiden arose. In her hands were beautiful articles of clothing, enough for three men. There were three pairs of moccasins, three pairs of leggings, three belts, three shirts, three head dresses with beautiful feathers, and sweet smelling tobacco
"Make a new canoe of bark," she said, which was made for her.
Into the canoe she stepped and floated slowly down the river toward the great fish.
"Come back my daughter," her mother cried in agony. "Come back. The great fish will eat you."
She answered nothing. Her canoe came to the place where the great fin arose and stopped, its prow grating on the monster's back. The maiden stepped out boldly. One by one she laid her presents on the fish's back, scattering the feathers and tobacco over his broad spine.
"Oh, fish," she cried, "Oh, fish, you who were my lover, I shall not forget you. Because you were lost for love of me, I shall never marry. All my life I shall remain a widow. Take these presents. And now leave the river, and let the waters run free, so my people may once more descend in their canoes."
She stepped into her canoe and waited. Slowly the great fish sank, his broad fin disappeared, and the waters of the St. Croix ~~~Jack Crow~~~
Nice picture of Martin for your ID picture.
Thanks for sharing this! :)
Your welcome Mimi. ~~~Jack Crow~~~
Wow I love that Thanks so much for sharing
Jon...
How interesting! Thank you for posting this story! :)
I can see why this story is often compared to Cinderella. But I also saw some similarities to the original Beauty and the Beast. In the original telling of that story, Belle had two older, spoiled sisters. After Belle married the Beast turned prince, Belle invited her father and sisters to come live in the castle with them. The family wasn't there for long when the sisters were so jealous of Belle that they took her and drowned her in a bathtub. But in another twist, the same sorceress who cursed the prince revived Belle, and told her that in order to punish her sisters properly, they had to be turned into two stone columns, and if anyone would fall in love with them, they would become human again. How like the ending of this story!
Oh my, that is so interesting! Thanks for sharing!
@@ItsTheStoryteller Oh, hello! Thank you for replying! :D
I fell in love with this story in 1997 or 1996 , from a book in my elementary school library! It had amazingly beautiful artwork. And the story was much more detailed!!!!! But remember it .!❤❤❤❤
I love this story, first hearing it at a storytelling festival in Oklahoma City over a decade ago. I wish I could remember the teller’s name. Beautiful tale, wonderfully told. You have such a nice, drawing voice.
This was my favorite story as a child, it makes me so happy to hear it. Thank you💚
That's amazing - Thanks for listening, Katie!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God. Bless you immensely!🙏🏼❤️
I think this is my favourite of all your stories, Mimi.
Thanks so much!
I FEEL SOMEONE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERCHING FOR ME AND I FOR HIM.,
I am sure this is true :) When you find one another, you'll just know! Be sure to keep me updated!! xx
What's up
Where did you go why are you in search of yourself were you looking for you
Lucky you! I will never find her but I still live like I will find her, anyway.
Perhaps it is so.
Truly a Beautiful story, many times I have sat in the Aspens and listened to their leaves quaking. Thank you

Wonderful story. Like many Native stories it teaches life lessons!!!
Thanks for your lovely comment, Elani! I agree that Native stories are often some of the most profound of them all!
MimiTheStoryTeller your very welcome. I am Cherokee Indian and we have many stories like this that teach life lessons. Along with teaching lessons on how to behave. Like the story of the two wolves. That is an old Cherokee story.
So, so fascinating! Some day, I hope to visit a Cherokee tribe and learn of all your glorious stories! :)
Elani Aniyvwia The story of Two Wolves is a most powerful one that I have kept with me in my journey through life since I was a child.
My father's mother, who was born and raised on the Cherokee rez in North Carolina, and who spoke Tsalagi, used to tell me that story when I was young, mostly because every time she visited I would ask her to again.
"The one you feed."
It has taken me away from some paths in life I may have regretted if I acted on them.
She (my grandmother) still referred to herself and tribe as "AniYunwiya".
I think about her almost every day.
Loved this! Reminds me of Cinderella! Wonder if Cinderella was ripped off from this great story! Thank you! ♥️
This story lines up with Christ the Son of God. No one can see Him, unless you have a eyes to see and ears to hear, in the spirit. In the spirit we are changed into His image once again. Light, love. Awesome Story.
Aww such a sweet connection you've made there. Thanks for sharing!
Hm except this was a warrior and the jesus "turn the other cheek/love thine enemies" and the likes was thought up to make people total pushovers. If compared to any deity, this warrior sounds more like a shiva.
The image of Yeshua as a babe in a manger is an image propagated by those who put their faith in written dead-words. Those of the Spirit know that he is indeed a warrior, and a mighty one. You are correct however, religion is for to make the people, pushovers. The Spirit is for to make them strong. Nevertheless, I wish for you peace.
Aw man! Can't see the world and existence without a Christian lens. Too bad. That will only limit your sight. Must see only for what it is. Nothing else. Truly missed the beauty and message of the story.
You truly did not see the warrior. Just like all the others before you. Great story.
A compelling & mysterious story, Mimi. Pure hearts help eyes see beyond. Omnia Vincit Amor. Bless /\
This is a beautiful story.So many lessons to learn from it.
Thank you, for telling, its such a wonderful story . a very affectionate thank you from germany
A lovely comment - Thank you for listening! :)

The book is titled "Rough-Faced Girl".
It is well known by both names the rough faced girl and the invisible warrior alike.
It's also known as the fire fly girl.
that is where i heard this story
Was also "Little Firefly" : They're all versions of the same Algonquian legend. Just re-titled differently by different Authors/Publishers.
I love this story. It is one of my favorites from childhood, except I thought it was called the rough faced girl.
The beginning song is one of my favourites to sing
Thank you so much - and I am sure you have a beautiful voice!! xxx
