Week 9 Reading Diary: Tejas Legends

Tejas Legends stories from Tejas Indians

Storm god created the islands in the gulf of mexico. Comes in the shape of hurricanes. He built the islands to protect the birds from the indians of the north, so that they would have a sanctuary. Mistletoe grows on trees because the thunder bird felt sorry for it. Woodpeckers have short tails because a fish bit off the end of it. Flowers that have soft colors got them from a cloud that wandered away and got lost from the other clouds, and settled down on the ground. River saves the small fish by flooding itself and trapping the gars that ate the small fish in pools that were not connected to the river.
