In this story a group of Mohawk hunters see a giant rabbit, and then they decide not to kill the rabbit. In return it is said that the rabbit teaches them a dance. Iroquois people felt a deep bond with the animals, forests, and sky. When one of the Iroquois hunters killed a deer, he would thank it for the clothing, food ,and tools it would provide for him and his family. At harvest time the great league would give thanks for their good harvest: “Great Spirit in Heaven, we salute you with our thanks, that you have preserved so many of us for another year, to participate in the ceremonies of this occasion.” The Iroquois believed by doing this it would bring another good year ahead. « « 1 2 3 4 5
