He was a disgrace to all mankind; he stole high price jewelry, rare foods that only come once a year, and great monuments of gods and goddesses. He has stolen every monument except for one, the great Zeus’s monument. Today, he made a big mistake of stealing it in front of everyone. The people were furious (mostly scared because they didn’t want the

however, I was briefly intrigued and compelled to these rich and colorful body of work that these Native Americans have left for us to dissect. The "Iroquios Creation Story" was an alluring story that gave us yet another depiction of how our earth and everything in it came to be.

It was now January 31st, and Sydni Kellie and Lauren hadn’t even begun to start their bridge yet. They always talked about beginning it but never followed through.
