How the Flowers Came to Be.
Skinner, Linda; Brescia, William, Ed.
The booklet tells the story of Josephine, a little Choctaw girl, who picks wild flowers and hurts her Aunt's feelings. Josephine later learns from her grandmother the importance of respecting nature and how the flowers came to be. The story introduces constellations, how weaving came to the Choctaw, how the sick were prayed for, and why wild flowers symbolize tokens of love from the Sacred Spirit. This booklet is supplementary reading material for the "Choctaw Culture Early Education Activities" guide. The guide provides activities pertaining to the story. (ERB)
