N2  - This collection of First Nations stories have been organized into four sections reflecting the significance of the number four to Native peoplel:  There are four seasons, four winds, four directions, four stages in a person's life.  Therefore, four stories from four nations in four different regions of Native North America were chosen.  Some are ancient storeis that speak of the paths from youth to maturity, from foolishness to wisdom, from selfishness to caring.  Two are stories of actual ceremonies that held to celebrate a young girl's entrance into womanhood.  Like human beings themselves, the stories can be beautiful or powerful, sometimes humorous, sometimes frightening.  Though times changes, and people and societies change with them the wisdom of the traditional tales is everlasting
