^^' alright.. the thing is, unfortunately i can't post this picture until i have the story. from the looks of it, its hard to tell its native american. i love it because it is truly a native american folktale, and i would love to post it but idk what the viewers would think if i didnt have any validation for posting it.
So I went to that museum and after walking around on two floors with no sucess, I found what I was looking for. The legend comes from the Chippewa. There was a man named Ojishonda whose job it was to put the start in the sky and light them one by one every night. One night, he fell asleep right before he was supposed to walk across the sky to light the stars. When he laid down, his pet fox grabbed the bag and ran off with it, scattering the stars everywhere. When Ojishonda awakened, he knew there was no way to get them all back before the night was out so he left them there. Now, he walks the sky every night, lighting them as he goes. However, in the winter time when the snow is too deep or he is too tired, there are less stars visible in the sky.
