Appalachian Mountain Rap
By: Ellie Z.
The Appalachian Mountains are really cool
If you listen to my rap you won't sound like a fool!
Hey, look here and listen to me,
The Appalachian Mountains are as old as can be!
Hey now guys, open up your brain
The Appalachian Mountains are west of the Coastal Plain!
Guys, listen, it's really a breeze
To remember that the Appalachian Mountains are covered with trees!
It's not like your memory is all corroded
To remember that the Appalachian Mountains are really eroded!
I have a friend, she lives in Kappa Kappa Gamma
But did you know the Appalachians go from Canada to Alabama?
Really, thats it, of all of my rap,
So that one part of the test should really be a snap
Okay, fine! I'll read one more lie,
Mr. Shedd is like the best teacher of all time!

AMERICAN INDIAN STORY CHALLENGE
How the North was Frozen
An Inuit Story by Alexander Monaco
Long ago, before the northernmost portion of America was covered in layers of snow, the land was bright green and dotted with numerous amounts of foliage. In this tropical paradise lived the first Inuit, who lived carefree and happy. In the center of their village was a giant flame, a gift from the gods. This flame would give them and all of the northern land warmth and light. However, if one was to abuse the gift, the gods would take it back.
Unfortunately, there was one Inuit in the village who had just the foolish mind to do something like that. His name was Snow, and he was very greedy. He would always get away with stealing more than he needed, mostly food.
One day Snow had finished fishing for salmon in his kayak, but when he got back, his personal fire in his house was dead.
“Oh well. I’d better get some fire from the Big Flame.” He muttered to himself.
Snow got a big basket and hefted it out of his driftwood house, and over to the fire. He got a incredibly large amount of fire and started carrying it back, but accidently tripped. The fire spilled out and sizzled onto the ground.
“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!” A voice thundered in the clouds.
“I-I was j-just getting some fire…”
“Snow! Because eof your foolishness, the entire north with suffer! The Great Fire will be taken away, and the landscape will be blanketed with freezing white powder!”
And with those words, The Great Fire was lifted into the clouds, and dissappeared. The ground was then covered by a frozen tundra, and the Inuit began freezing.
“Curse you, Snow!” A villager said, chattering.
From that day on, the Inuit had to wear seal skin as clothing to prevent from freezing, and had to eat all the new white-pelted animals that had stumbled into the world.
They also decided to name this new substance snow, after its creator.
Big Figure and the Children
A Kwakiutl Story by Nathan Martin
There was once, in the tribe of Chief Tree-on-hill, a boy who liked to play in the forests with his friends. The boys name was Blue-sun-rising, and he always preferred to go along the rocky beaches of the Pacific Ocean. He lived, with his parents, in the second largest plank-house, beside that of an old woman named Long-Silver-Arm.
One day in the month we now call June, Blue-sun-rising and his family had just had a potlatch, where they gave away a piece of their totem, an image of the tree spirit. They also gave away a lot of food, including deer and salmon. The chief had received a block of wood, which was soon carved into an image of Blue-Sun-Rising’s father, Yellow-Sun-Rising.
The following day, Blue-Sun-Rising went out to play by the rocky beaches with Silver-Hair and Large-Hand, his two best friends. After the children had been playing for about an hour, they heard a crash in the trees and a loud grunt. They turned to see Big Figure approaching through the trees. His eyes were set deep in his head, and he was covered in thick, brown hair. The children began to run in the direction of the village, but Big Figure followed.
After a few minutes of running, the three children came to the totem of chief Tree-on-hill. At the top of it was the newly carved image of Yellow-Sun-Rising. As soon as the children thought they were safe, Big Figure smashed through the trees. He grabbed a log and swung it at Large-Hand, who ducked under it. The log smashed against the totem, crushing an image of Golden-Finger, Tree-on-hill’s grandfather.
“Help!” screamed Silver-hair, “Big Figure is coming!”
The children tried to dodge Big Figure’s attacks, but soon another piece of the totem had been destroyed. This was an image of Joy-Bringing, another of Tree-on-hill’s relatives.
Suddenly, Big Figure grabbed Silver-Hair, threw him in a sack, and ran. Two seconds later, twenty Indian warriors charged from the woods. Tree-on-hill and Silver-sun-rising were among them.
“What’s happening?” asked Tree-on-hill, “why is the totem in such ruin?”
“Big Figure did it!” replied Blue-Sun-Rising.
“This is horrible!” exclaimed a warrior.
“Yes, he took Silver-Hair, and I think he is going to boil and eat him!”
“We have to rescue him,” said the chief.
The next day, all the warrior’s, led by Yellow-Sun-Rising, stepped toward the lair of Big Figure. The two children led them. After a confusing path through the forest, they finally came to a cave. Inside Silver-Hair was tied up near a giant pot of boiling water.
Big Figure looked up, and saw, with surprise, the many Indians. They were standing all around the cave, looking in. Behind them, the rain was falling out of the almost-always dark, rainy sky.
“Come here,” said Blue-Sun-Rising, “there is a giant salmon in the water, Big Figure, and if you catch it, it will make a great feast for you!”
“Ahh,” said Big Figure, “I must see it!”
“Go, quickly, to the water’s edge, and look in, then you can catch the fish!”
“But I’m already going to eat a child in there!” replied Big Figure.
“Yes, but this fish would make a great addition to the meal, quick, it’s leaving!”
As Big Figure walked toward the water’s edge, the strongest of the warrior’s ran over and hit him off the cliff. He tumbled down the side and died when he hit the rocky bottom. The tribe then rescued the boy, Silver-Hair, and brought him back to the plank-house where he lived.
THE END
Why the Sioux Chase Buffalo
By Silas Beers
There is a story that was lost in the ages that is like big figure for the Kwakutl. It is about a giant buffalo named Brison the Bison. He was the leader of all bison/buffalo in the world. He really liked food. He ate so much food that he was big enough for his skin to make four-and-a-half teepees. He particularly was fond of the taste of Sioux Indians - especially ones named Salabable meaning "Mr. Bread." The chief's name at the time was frankly Mr. Bread, and, of course, he knew about Brison. Brison, though, knew about him, too. One hot day, Brison was hungry enough to eat a chief so, why not? Oh yeah, he was in Africa. So he took a plane to the great plains. He tried his best to sneak up on the chief, but he was so big that the chief heard him a mile away. He called everyone of the Sioux to his aid. He said, "Brison is coming. Be prepared to fight." By the time Brison got there, all the Sioux Indians were hiding. Then they jumped out and attacked Brison. Three Sioux Indians were the ones who shot the bison. Titchacatchi, Mimilmock, and Bill. They all shot Brison in the heart and killed him. They were so happy that they ate him. It tasted so good that they made it their main food source. The Sioux also cut up the skin for jackets to wear. The chief got the head. Titchacatchi and Mimilmock got the legs. And, of course, Bill got the butt. But he was happy all the same. That day, they realized how fun and useful it is to hunt buffalo, and they have ever since.
Wankon tanka
By Morgan Hall
One day Okaga and Ojilaka wanji where returning to the village with their prize, a large buffalo. As soon as they got to there tepee okaga remember that they still had to skin, eat, and make use of the other buffalo they had shot and killed two days ago. When okaga brought this to ojiaka wanji attention he did not think much about it he was too busy thinking how wealthy he would look in the skins of the buffalo. In the following day’s okaga and ojiaka wanji ate and made use of the buffalo but even through their efforts the meat and the buffalo went bad. There was nothing to do. They could not give any of the meat away, and they where to shame full to tell maka of their mistake they decided to put it out in the fields and let the birds eat it. Unfortunately okaga and ojilaka wanji forgot wankon tanka got mad when her gift of buffalo was wasted. She was so mad that she made all the buffalo disappear for 200 miles around. Soon back at the village tunkan reported that the buffalo had disappeared and had no clue witch way they had gone. After the announcement had been made all the tribe members started to pack up for the move. Since tunkan had no clue way the buffalo went he decided to move the tribe east. The tribe walked on and on and on. After 5 days the tribe had still not run into any buffalo, and were half starved to death. Finally ojiaka wanji told maka of their mistake. She told him he must have made wankon tanka mad for wasting her gift. She also told him the only way to make her happy aging was to go get the meat they had left in field. Oence this was done she told him that he needed to build a great fire, when the fire is built you must put the remains in the fire. After the remains have burnt down to ashes step in to the fire. If you have followed the directions properly you should be before wankon tanka unharmed. She will be mad and treat you like traders but you must keep pleading she will give in evently. It could take 4 minutes or 4 days but don’t give up our fate depends on it. Ojilaka wanji was shaken by this but walked away calmly and told okaga what they had to do. The next day okaga and ojiaka wanji set out to find the left over carcass of the buffalo. After 7 days the boys where running out of food and desperately wanted to find the body of the buffalo. The next afternoon the boys stumbled across the carcass they were quick to build a fire. After the fire was nice and big the boys placed the carcass in the fire, in no time it was down to ashes. Okaga still questing what his younger brother ojiaka wanji and his directions hesitated to step in but to ojiaka wanji relief he finally did and soon they were both standing in front of wankon tanka. As maka said she was fuming and looked like she was going to explode with rage. Maka was also right about her not being easy to persuade, but ojiaka wanji finally asked her why she needed to punish all the tribe for there mistake and that’s when she gave in. she made the buffalo return and made the boys a path back to there tribe. But before they left she reminded them to never waste her gift again.
No Title (Kwakitul Story)
Anonymous
Once in the village of the Kwakiutl they were having a potlatch. The host of the potlatch had a magical mini totem pole with a carving of big figure on it. The recipients of the figure put it in their cold bedroom. That night the figure came to life. At first he was the size of the child's hand so he could not do much harm. But when he got outside and got a breath of fresh air he got huge then he ripped of the proof of the plank house and ruined the beds. That is because it was raining like usual. He also ate the family in their sleep. Then he went and destroyed their canoes, threw the rocks that fill the beach at totem poles, ate all their food, and knocked over most of the trees that line the beach that they used the bark for clothes. After big figure destroyed the village he went into a cave and made his home. Ever since then big figure has been coming back to that village and causing massive destruction and a lot of problems. That is how big figure came about.

The Elephant and the Turtle
By Emarie Drake
The Oklahoma zoo was very busy today; they were taking 12 of their animals to the Austin, Texas zoo. Otis had worked very hard all morning making sure everything he knew he had done a great job. As the train took off from the station there were extremely loud cries from the animals. The ride had been going smoothly, everything was fine until Otis noticed that the train had stopped. He looked out the window and sure enough there was the engineer coming to talk to him.
As Otis was talking to the engineer nobody noticed the elephant and turtle walk into the woods. We did it Mike said to George We escaped. Mike knew it was going to be a challenge considering he was the largest elephant in the zoo. He could say the same for George but he would be lying you see George is a turtle, yes you heard me he is a turtle the smallest animal at the zoo. As they were walking in the woods they came upon a man sitting in a tree. He shouted, who are you? I demand you tell me or I will kill you. My name is Mike and this is George we were wondering if you could help us get to Oklahoma? My name is Askook and yes I can help you, but first you must rest. As Mike and George rested Askook told stories of the Great Plains. He talked about the flat land and how it gradually increases upward. Every night that week he told stories about the Sioux Indians, on Tuesday he told about the buffalo. The buffalo are the Sioux’s main source were their main food source for food and clothing. The Sioux would hunt the buffalo and eat it, but they would also use the skin for clothing and shelter. They would use every part of the left of the carcass for something and use the blatter for water containers or toys for the kids. On Wednesday Askook talked about the way the Sioux lived he told them that they were nomadic which means that they do not have a permanent home because they have to follow their food. The Sioux live in teepees and move all around the Great Plains. When it to be Friday Askook, George, Mike all started the journey back to Oklahoma .It took two days but once they got there they said their farewells and headed their separate ways. Well-said George I think there is one thing we learned from this. What’s that? Mike asked we have to go be Indians good thinking George! From then on George and Mike told all the animals at the zoo the Sioux stories

Sassquash Story
By Jake Ludwick
One day on a the beach, some Kwakiutl adults were having a potlatch in a plank house. The host gave some of their clams, tree bark coats, deer meat, deer skin, and a little part of their totem pole. When it ended they went outside to build a fire. They heard a thump, thump, thump. Then they saw a big pale figure. All of the adults tried to fight it but they all got knocked out and put in the figure’s big bag. He traveled through the forest and into a big hut. Later all the kids noticed the adults were not here, so they went to go look for them. They saw big foot prints on the ground so the children followed them to a big hut. When they got inside they saw all the adults. “Let them go!” said the children. “No!” said the big pale figure. “I love your hair,” said the big pale figure. “In the winter I’m cold. If you give me your hair I will give you back your parents.” So all the children and adults gave the big figure all their hair. Sassquash let the adults go and they went back to hunting, building a fire, and opening the clams. That’s how all the big figures got their hair.

Big Figure
It had been raining for three days straight and we weren’t allowed to go outside. I was bored and restless, read my books and slept a lot. I missed being with my friends outside running around.
Then finally one day I heard “wake up Kouku, it’s not raining anymore,” said my mom. I was so excited, that I sprang out of bed, and put on the clothes that my mom had just woven for me. I ran outside as fast as I could to find my friends. Pretty soon we met up at the edge of the water and started playing tag. The wet sand felt gushy on my feet. I never thought I would miss gushy sand like I did at that moment!
Then there was a huge THUMP! A tree flew out of the forest into the water. We were frozen in our footsteps wondering what that could have been. Our hearts were beating so fast, and before I could scream, Big figure jumped out of the woods. I was scared thin! He was big and really hairy, covered in thick brown fur. As we stared in scared silence, he said with a loud, dark voice “I’m gonna eat you!”
Just then, it started to rain again. As much as I had hated the rain for those three days, I loved it with all my heart in that moment. I started to walk toward the Big Figure and with a stick in my hand, I started to swing at his eyes. He backed up until he hit a tree. Then I lunged the stick at him, square in the eyeball, pushing it way far back in his head, and then quickly did the other eye. So his eyes were so far back that he could barely see. Now every Big Figure has eyes way far back in their head.
