He argues that &quot;Myths are not icing on the cake of culture but are integral parts of viable human cultures.&quot; Furthermore, one does not have to delve too deeply to uncover their meaning, as Western scholars are tempted to do in their analyses. For example he recounts two myths that express an anxiety over getting enough food to eat and the need to share food and respect others. The meaning here is all too real for a people who have experienced recurrent hunger and starvation, and need to depend on the generosity of others.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Academic journal article</style></notes><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canada, North-eastern Alberta</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/4650517904</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CEMA</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
