When the Grizzlies Walked Upright

The assignment for "Grizzlies" is to find (deductive reasoning) 15-20 statements about the Modoc people that are derived from the myth. The format should look like this:  TRUTH: (PG #): "QUOTE FROM STORY" SOCRATIC EXPLANATION... example: The Modoc people were polythestic.

Also, the daughter referenced the Wind spirit also.
