About the hummingbird:
Every year, hummingbirds travel alone across great distances on their perilous migration back to Canada. Despite their tiny size, they are an expression of pure joy and boundless energy. One year (it might even have been last year!) there was a huge forest fire that caused all the animals to flee their homes in terror—except for one brave little hummingbird.
This Folklore story comes from the Quechuan people of South America and became well known through pre-contact trade routes to many Indigenous communities throughout North America/Turtle Island.
