I found only one myth from the Montagnard people, likely because most if not all of their traditional stories are not told in any form that is not oral. However, something about the tale resonated with me. I put together a simple text and music presentation of it, but knew something was missing. That missing piece came in when Raleigh Bailey came to talk to us. I saw the startling parallels between the US Government's treatment of the Montagnard forces and the myth of the monkies instantly. It really is incredible how the simplest and most seemingly childish stories can apply so directly to our lives, cutting through the chatter and confusion of reality to the simplest, most applicable truths.
