Finally this week I got the chance to do my
presentation of the White Buffalo Calf Woman in front of my classmates, even though
most of my classmates left before my presentation. But anyways life goes on; I
was able to explain the main ideas about our chapter and the reasons why we
have many misconceptions about the myths that have a woman as god. Before my presentation there were two others
that explained the meaning of a sacred place, and the relationship of families,
friends, and love. The first one was the
Vietnamese myth title The Areca Tree. The other myth was the Popul Vu a Mayan myth. What I learned about these two myths is the
importance of natural elements such as the water. During the The Areca Tree presentation the group
was discussing about the meaning of a sacred place and how a sacred place can
be any particular place that have a meaning to the people. But also said that a sacred place can also
have a connection to religious beliefs and is use to worship gods.
