Question

Which details from the myths support the conclusion that both cultures value children

Answer 1

Answer:

The Haida myth shows Raven taking the shape of a sneaky child and creating light.

The Māori myth has Earth Mother and Sky Father create children who become gods of nature.

Explanation:

These are the options that come with this question:

• The Haida myth shows Raven taking the shape of a sneaky child and creating light.
• The Haida myth tells about a raven that becomes the ultimate creator.
• The Māori myth uses gods of different parts of nature, including forests and birds.
• The Māori myth has Earth Mother and Sky Father create children who become gods of nature.

In these myths, we learn about the importance that children have for both the Haida and the Maori cultures. In the Haida myth, the raven is usually the most important, or one of the most important characters. He is frequently shown as a trickster, but also considered a benevolent character. It this case, the raven takes the shape of a child in order to commit his acts. On the other hand, the Maori myth talks about children who become gods of nature. These children, therefore, fulfill an extremely important role for the future of the Maori people. Both myths show how important children are in both cultures.
