Kwakwaka'wakw (Kwakiutl) Canada, British Columbia, 19th century ♪ (whimsical music) ♪ "The Man and the Whale" Once upon a time there was a whale
in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One day, the whale broke out of his cage and landed on the museum floor. A man in the museum sees the whale and thinks he looks cold. He looks around and sees a case of small, Native American moccasins. He thinks the moccasins
will help the whale, so he secretly collects them all in a bag. He gives the moccasins to the whale. The whale invites the man
to his home underwater. Together, they put the moccasins
in the whale's closet, and become good friends. The End what will you make?
