An Origin Myth — the trickster origins of civilization
"Infants are held by many sets of loving hands and do not sleep alone. Children are encouraged to remember their nighttime dreams and if possible, to act upon them in the daylight. They are not placed in school to regulate or tailor their growth to notions of an expected educational result. On the contrary, children are left free to imitate or ignore their uncles, aunts, cousins, and the animals they observe during their play. Children are encouraged to emulate everyone and everything under the Sun, as well as the twinkling stars that sparkle over their heads. The grownups open doors and provide constant opportunities for the children to wander where they want — unharmed and unhindered. Adult mentors resist inflicting undue difficulties or personal problems on the young. Such acts are frowned on by the people.
The man resolves to build dream lodges in the forest, one for his nephew and one for his niece. The children are old enough to choose their paths as adults. Their childhoods have been full, and their play has prepared them for a seamless transition into adulthood. The youngsters go away, and in a green, hidden place of silence and seclusion, they stop eating and begin to dream until each is visited by a spirit guide in the form of an animal. The spirit promises to guide the child along a specific path, a strong life-long connection. "
