The Sky People is such a beautiful story. I think it is so incredible that oral tradition is such an important aspect of their culture. The story itself about the two men from the sky was entertaining and giving. It is so nice to know that somewhere in the United States people are still so connected to their past and therefore their past relay to their future. I feel like the Giving Tree is almost like a modern day take on The Sky People. All I can say is that if I went out into cache and came across two men hovering over the food, floating up toward the ceiling I would be a little less calm about it and rather more like a screaming banchie but that is just me. The sky people connect the land to the sky, the land people give back to the sky. They represent a cycle of life, land to sky, sky to land.
