Saddam, Widad Allawi; Ya, Wan Roselezam Wan
Advances in Language and Literary Studies, v6 n6 p141-145 Dec 2015
Native American storytelling has become a very vital issue in education. It preserves Native American history for the next generation and teaches them important lessons about the Native American culture. It also conveys moral meanings, knowledge and social values of the Native American people to the universe. More importantly, Native American storytelling teaches people not to be isolated, and the key issues discussed in this paper are borrowed from the selected poems of Native American Luci Tapahonso: "The Holy Twins" and "Remember the Things that you told."
