Big Dipper | A Monster in the Woods

Tonight we're looking at the Big Dipper.

It's a story about the Cosmic Hunt, and it comes from the Haudenosaunee, who resided in what's now New York and southern Ontario.

This story contains a tiny, very specific detail that, when you first hear it, you wouldn’t even notice.

But this tiny detail shows up in stories told on the other side of the world, by people who could not possibly have met.

A researcher spent decades cataloguing tens of thousands of these stories specifically to find things like it. And when he wrote up what he found, he said there could only be one explanation or it.

So when you listen to this story, keep a look out for that small detail.
