Read the excerpt from the haida creation myth.

but in raven’s travels, he saw that there was no one to take care of the earth. he landed on a beach and stopped to think about how to solve this problem. nearby, he saw a huge clam shell—it seemed to be making noise! curiously, raven approached and saw a group of tiny creatures in the shell.

read the excerpt from the maori creation myth.

tû’s descendants became the mâori, the humans who are able to master anything that they decide to conquer: the forest, the sea, the food, and the earth. only tawhiri escapes tû’s wrath, and still today the mâori battle against the hurricanes he sends from above.

based on these excerpts, how do the haida and maori cultures view the relationship between humans and the environment?

the haida believe they exist to serve nature, while the maori believe they must live in harmony with their surroundings.
the haida believe they must overcome the elements of nature, while the maori believe they must be kind to their surroundings.
the haida believe they created their surroundings, while the maori believe they are more powerful than nature.
the haida believe they were picked to be responsible for the earth, while the maori see themselves in conflict with nature.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).
