Bake it By the Dozen

I want this comic to draw from both Europe and Native American Culture,
I think both of these cultures have rich resources in mythology and history from me to draw from.
I am going to use these to draw inspiration from.


Native American:

The great Hare and the 4 wind gods:
The great hare created humans and animals and put them into a bag as he did not know what to do with them (me and all my oc's XD), they then made Forrest and put deer in them, the 4 wind gods did not like this so they killed the deer,
the hare did not like this so they tossed the pelts of the deer into the Forrest to make more, then released humans to live among them.

How Man got Fire:
Fire originally belonged to the bear, it would keep his family warm and guide them through the dark, one day the bear found a forest with delicious nuts so he went in to eat, the fire got more hungry and asked a passing human to feed it, the human did so and the fire stayed with human, when the bear came back the fire did not return to it.
