convert this: The Power of Storytelling
In Indian Horse, in this book storytelling is a way to preserve history alive and help with healing. Sauls personal journey and the oral traditions of his community are the key factors. Soul states, “We need to tell our stories. Its the only way to heal” (Wagames, p.203). This quotation illustrates how storytelling can save cultural history by preserving storytelling, and people start to heal.
On the other hand, King in The Truth About Stories tries to argue that the best way to survive and resist is by storytelling. By making stories from a real Indigenous experience, storytelling helps people to build up more resilience. King says, “Stories are wondrous things. And they are dangerous” (King, p.9). This quote shows how stories change and power to both preserve culture and challenge the opposite side.
Resilience of Community 
In Indian Horse, the strength of Indigenous support is seen very easily, when Soul gets support from his family and community, despite the pain he suffered from residential school. Saul reflects, “The community's love for me was fierce and unwavering… they carried me” (Wagamese, p.176). This reflects that communist support was vital in his life.
Similarly, in the Truth About Stories, King shows how strong community friendliness helps resist colonial impact and revive Indigenous culture by sharing experiences from past and memories for future. King notes”Communities survive by their stories'' (King, p. 104). This quote shows the importance of community bonds in maintaining cultural future.
Both Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese and the Truth About Stories by Thomas King shows that Indigenous joy and resistance come from reclaiming identity, storytelling and from a strong community.
These books help us to understand more and appreciate Indigenous cultures, showing how they overcame challenges they faced and became more preservative to their heritage.
