World Making Stories edited by Eleanor Nevins (World-Making Stories_ Maidu Lan – M. Eleanor Nevins.

I would like you to consider the reading World Making Stories edited by Eleanor Nevins (World-Making Stories_ Maidu Lan – M. Eleanor Nevins.pdf, pdf attached). One of the book’s primary topics is the connection between landscape and culture, especially the Maidu, who is one of the Native American tribes of California. With at least three quotes from Nevins’ book, I would like you to explain the strategies of community renewal by the Maidu today. What is the role of stories(we’ve been calling them myths) for them, especially when it comes to keeping their culture and identity alive?
