A well-known Native American story -- depicting Native American literature -- contains several inconsistencies. Some scholars argue that because the story contains inconsistencies, the original storyteller must have gotten information from more than one source. The conclusion cited above does not follow unless ['storytellers generally try to reconcile discrepancies between sources', 'the original storyteller used no source of information that contained inconsistencies repeated in the original story', 'the storyteller attempted to tell an accurate story', 'the storyteller was aware of the kind of inconsistencies that could ruin a story']
