<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">
<p>Long ago, most Native nations did not write books. So how did they remember their history, their lessons, and their beliefs? Through <strong>stories</strong>!</p>
<p>Elders — wise older people — told stories to children around the fire. The children grew up, remembered every word, and told the same stories to THEIR children. Passing knowledge by speaking and listening is called <strong>oral tradition</strong>. Some stories have been passed down this way for thousands of years!</p>
<p>Stories did big jobs: they explained how the world began, taught right from wrong, and made long winter nights fun. A good storyteller was one of the most treasured people in the whole nation.</p>
