What percentage of generational histories and educational or simply entertaining stories from the, let's just narrow it down to the indigenous cultures in the Pacific Northwest, have been lost due to disease and colonialism? How far back did some of those stories go, how many thousands of years? The lost Hollywood stories are just variations of archetypical tales presented in a different medium, sometimes superbly. Moving pictures were certainly novel, at the time, but in the context of tens of thousands of years of human existence I find that I don't really care. Up-triangle'd anyway, for those who do care, and because it's a story about stories.
