Story Lab Story Revision
I decided to change the title of one of my stories to try and draw some attention of the readers and also wanted the title to match the story more.
At the beginning of time there was one tribe of Native Americans that lived in the Mississippi Valley. They had no contact with other tribes but knew they were out there. The only way they were able to survive was because the animals in the forest would come and help them. Some would bring vegetables so that the tribe could eat while others would bring other dead animals so that the Native Americans could use them.
Whenever the tribe received an animal they would respect it by praying first and then use the entire animal. They wouldn't disrespect the animal by not using all the parts. They believed that since the other animals were bringing them the dead animals the least they could do was to respect the animals that brought them.
One day an animal brought a plant to the tribe and placed it near the fire pit. One of the Native Americans thought this was a sign and then threw the plant in the fire. After throwing it in the fire he inhaled the smoke from the flames and understood that this was how the plant was supposed to be used. The next time the animals brought the plant instead of throwing it in the flame he stripped it of all its seeds and planted them so that he could grow his own.
One of the leaders of the tribe then went to a neighboring tribe with the plant and showed them the wonders of it. He told them that he would give them the plant if they were to give him fur and food. The reason he did this was because the food that the animals were bringing to the tribe wasn't enough and he decided to find another way for them to eat. The tribe agreed to this transaction and told the man that he needed to come every week with the plant. The man agreed and this is how he started to connect with other tribes because word got out about this plant to other tribes. Eventually this tribe became the most powerful and wealthy tribe in all the valley.
Author's Note: I took a couple stories and put them together in order to make this story. In most of the stories animals would help the humans survive so I made the animals help in this story as well. Also in one of the stories tobacco was stolen from a giant and given to all the tribes by one man but in this story I decided to make one of the animals bring it and then the tribe would distribute it for profit.
