-History of the Gulf of Mexico shore
-The Indians had a story of the Storm God who rode a thunder bird like a horse
-The islands were created by the Storm God
-The Storm God made the islands so that different birds could inhabit them
-However, the Storm God didn't live among the people and the people feared the thunder bird
-One day, tribes from the north (who liked to kill) invaded the tribes on the coast
-The northern tribes robbed the nests of the birds
-The birds cried so that the Storm God could save them
-The Storm God was so angered by what had happened
-When the northern tribe noticed the Storm God, it was too late for them to escape
-The clouds were so thick that they couldn't even see the sun
-Long story short- a lot of stuff went down
-As a result, mud and sand piled up and created islands
-A variety of things grow on the islands now
-The birds live on the islands too
