Do you sometimes wonder how these made up stories of how certain cultures arrived in your country or another & tell tales of different things that happened & they believe in them & try to convince others that it happened ?
Some of their stories / legends do sound a bit far fetched & yet they believe in what has been passed down thru their ancestors. Although that's part of their culture & other countries have their own beliefs of how their own ancestors tell stories that are sound unbelievable or just myths ? There are some great things the Maori have done in NZ & overseas which gets plenty of great comments.
i would think that pretty much anything that is passed down through multiple generations will end up changing pretty significantly after a while. sort of like playing telephone. sometimes when i look at young women or girls of a certain culture, i notice that their buttcrack is very nicely shaped. and if they see me staring and take it as a compliment, that's ok too?
Life is like a hurricane Here in Duckburg Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes It's a duck-blur Might solve a mystery Or rewrite history DuckTales (ooh ooh) Every day they're out there making DuckTales (ooh ooh) Tales of daring do bad and good Luck tales (ooh ooh)
I don't think it's too different to white men in ships coming over to the Maori and convincing them to believe in a man in the sky whose son can walk on water, rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
