Main points of the story

It revolves around an arrangement of occasions activated by Dayang Sumbi's careless guarantee to marry whoever brings her a misplaced instrument. Tumang, the loyal canine, fulfills the errand, driving to Dayang Sumbi's hesitant marriage. Afterward, she gives birth to Sangkuriang, who develops into a talented seeker. When Dayang Sumbi wants a deer's heart, Sangkuriang sets out to chase, but erroneously murders Tumang. This act leads to an encounter between mother and child, coming about in Sangkuriang as domestic.

A long time afterward, Sangkuriang returns, unconscious of his genuine character, and falls in love with Dayang Sumbi. They arrange to wed, but Dayang Sumbi recognizes the scar on Sangkuriang's head, uncovering their relationship as mother and child. She sets an incomprehensible condition for marriage:
to construct a lake and a vessel overnight. Sangkuriang acknowledges the challenge but falls flat due to Dayang Sumbi's intercession. In his seethe, he kicks the pontoon, which changes into Mount Tangkuban Perahu.

Main points of the story

Death Valley, known for its extreme heat and dryness, is home to the Timbisha Shoshone Indians, who have lived there for over a thousand years. According to their legend, the valley was once fertile and beautiful but turned into a desert due to the greed of a vain Queen. Her demands led to the suffering and death of her people, and the land transformed into punishment. The valley, named "Ground Afire" by the Shoshone, was later called "Death Valley" by gold-seeking pioneers. Despite hardships, the Timbisha Shoshone maintain their connection to the land and continue to live there today.

Characters

Crow Indians, Commander, Troops, Indian Braves

Main points of the story

The story of Yellowstone Tragedy" depicts the fleeing of Crow Indians from soldiers in Yellowstone Park. The Indians were very fond of these mountains and considered them sacred. Some chose to die by jumping into the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone rather than be captured alive. This group constructed a raft and once it was completed, they could escape the soldiers by pushing it down into the river. When this raft slid into the water, it went at full speed toward Yellowstone Falls. These Indians sang a dirge for themselves in open defiance. The soldiers looked on helplessly as their raft turned over at the precipice. The brave men decided to end their lives in that abyss beneath instead of being taken far away to jailhouse thereby bringing closure to their battle with honor.
