Blog Post 2: Well Baked Man/Creation

I have already heard about this creation myth. It was back in middle school and I also had an uncle that told me about it. A few words from the story were changed around but it still ends up with the same ending. I am pretty sure this is the only one I have ever actually heard about. There is this other one but I completely forgot how it went. Well there are many different types of creation myths. Many have different meanings inside of them. Some, you have to look very deeply to understand them. But a creation myth basically explains the beginning of something. Like when God first created the human being, but people make it a bit more entertaining. The Well Baked Man story always catches my attention, it entertains me in  a way. The story shows the point of view of the Pueblo Indians. In their view, they have the best skin tone. It gave me an insight into the Native American state of mind because according to them, they are the best out of the other races. The purpose of a creation myth is to give is a bit more of an understanding of how we something or someone was created. Another purpose is to show the generations that the ancestors background are the best out of all the ones out there. Creation myths could also be used as a way to entertain people. I believe Native Americans relied on creation myths and science due to the purpose that they believed in different types of gods. They worried about what type of punishments that could come upon them by their gods.
