Read the excerpt from the haida creation myth. the chief tried to catch the moon before it escaped, but it was too late. he resolved not to let the child have anything else to play with. instead, he decided, his daughter would just have to give it away to another woman. but the daughter refused. she had grown to love the baby, despite his irritable behavior. this excerpt supports the idea that the sky chief valued his daughter more than his grandson. his daughter and his possessions equally. his grandson more than his possessions. his possessions more than his family.
