I love the moral of this story. Your a excellent story teller. I’m 1/2 Cherokee. I’m preparing to go to go to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. My best friend lives next to the Cherokee Heritage center. I’ll be there a month or so. She’s also Cherokee. So we always visit the Cherokee Village & Museam. I love all that. Your story was a pleasure.🔥
@@Tamara-ju3lh nope it’s about your bloodline and if you are adopted into the culture.. not about your color American Indians vary in shade from dark brown to light wholely so.
@@WildindianTv ever heard of the term 'mixed'? It doesn't matter how this person looks native is native. Colorism isn't cool especially when we have enough in this world to worry about. Use your energy elsewhere rather than determining who a person is based on looks. Do you know there lineage/life? No? Then it's not your business to state who they are. Almost like people are ignorant over the fact that families relocated to escape racism and genocide/got stolen from their tribe🤦♀️
Absolutely love your story my papa He was Cherokee he told me stories Love my culture need to learn more my papa taught me what he could and taught me to want to learn more thank for keeping our Heritage alive your amazing

Good story brother... I heard a similar story when I was a child in North Carolina.. I think I heard it from a lumbee story teller... It was a similar setup but the possum ended up being the one who bought the fire back.. it's lack of hair was explained as being singed by the heat of the fire .
I will meet you one day, Mr. Lewis. We will talk for hours. We will have dinner. We will talk in the dim fIEr light. We will talk until the sUUN rises. You will leave me. I will be overtaken with grief. I will become depressed. I will shoot myself. In my last dying breaths I make one request to the lord almighty: reunite me with daddy Lewis
I love how He tells the story really enjoyed it even if I am sensitive I got my own different message in the middle of it and I thought if ever will have children need share it with them but reaching the end of the story that is such a great example how do we really need to watch out because it is so true in the real life experience I wish I had someone near to stop me from my limitless empathy for all human beings who literally love to just take it all and sometimes even leaving you with no more energy to protect your health body spirit and mind so be aware of it ! At the same time watching and feeling people in need we often have no choice and there is always that risk and that price for it all I am not Cherokee but since I was little I felt strong connection and importance of knowing more about different cultures and people that feels just good 😊 in modern life I don't find any answer to life I actually tap into who I was when I was little child and using these all experience s and teaching from everyday of life into the now 💜💗🌝🌚🌸thank you for sharing the story it's good because you need to imagine it which brings back the time when I was small and listened to stories imagining them ;) and that word is so full of new discoveries
I am greatful you share your stories. I love listening with our children. This one in particular I listed to in times of trial. As I feel such peace and resonance. I myself scream I am not going back its too scary before 😅 yet I find a way even through some burns. And most of all I feel our ancestors in your voice. Your words. And that brings me the most peace of all. Even the smallest of persons in my family. My greatest thanks
Does anyone remember Michael Two Leaf Meadows and brother Charles Tallbear? Also story tellers, much older though.. miss them. Glad to too, to see them again, In this story
osiyo! I love that every story teller tells the first fire differently. Its so beautiful to hear everyones version, that all is the same concept with same outcome. Wado!
Thanks *and* if you don't tell me the "moral" it might live in me for a while until it begins to dawn from within. hopeful people won't get mad about my sharing this idea
I'm 6th generation Cherokee - in other words barely - however this story and this channel makes my heart swell with pride and I am glad to be a part of this heritage.
Thank you for the valuable lesson in your story! Make great story for children's book!
I love the moral of this story.
Your a excellent story teller.
I’m 1/2 Cherokee.
I’m preparing to go to go to
Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
My best friend lives next
to the Cherokee Heritage
center. I’ll be there a month
or so. She’s also Cherokee.
So we always visit the
Cherokee Village & Museam.
I love all that.
Your story was a pleasure.🔥

How are you Cherokee you look European ?
@@WildindianTv you're saying someone has to be a certain shade to be a "real" Cherokee?
@@Tamara-ju3lh nope it’s about your bloodline and if you are adopted into the culture.. not about your color American Indians vary in shade from dark brown to light wholely so.

In the modern age where there is a great shortage on storytellers it's awesome to have found this thank you Robert Lewis
Love story is what I like to hear@Krista Hubbard
Just as my Pop John Fisher told me stories as a wee, little girl. Patiently awaiting that glorious day to hear them again in God’s time.
That was awesome.
People often don't think I can do things bc I am small.
That is a beautiful story and I am so glad I heard it.
Thanks y'all
Thank you for sharing this Mr Lewis
