 5 main legends- the five nations, the battle with the snakes, why there are mosquitoes, the fierce beast, and song of the hermit thrush  Most interesting is why there are mosquitoes  Once there were 2 giant mosquitoes. They killed every man who went up the river. After months of there people being killed they sent out a hunting party. Cont on next slide.

 The hunting party found these mosquitoes. The 2 mosquitoes killed most of the men while the others ran into the trees where they couldnt get them. From there they fired there arrows. When they were almost out of arrows the 2 mosquitoes fell. From the blood came millions of small ones. They love the taste of blood and seek revenge for the death of their grandfathers.

 None of the animal was ever wasted. A lot the hunted animal would be dried so it would keep longer.  What I brought is originally beef jerky but this is made with moose meat. Its just dried meat with salt and spices or so. Its a family recipe and is the first time we have tried it with moose meat.  It is very good so don't be afraid to try it.
