Scientists are listening to Indigenous peoples about myths of natural disasters

While I have absolutely no doubt that oral history of a great flood or earthquake is often true, I'd be quite interested to see the breakdown of how many of these myths are confirmed true, confirmed false, and can't be determined one way or the other.

Some of them have got to be the equivalent of our story of Noah's flood or Atlantis. But how many?

Up in Canada, at the south end of the BC/Alberta border, is — was — a coal-mining town by name of Frank. Frank built itself near the base of Turtle Mountain, known to the native Indians as “the mountain that moves.”

Frank was buried under the Frank Slide when the mountain collapsed.

Should’ve listened.
