Reply to comment by InsaneRabbitDaddy in How do countries that lack long, ancient histories and myths (or feel they lack it), or have lost all records of them, compensate for this loss or absence? Can these invented ancient myths become as "legitimate" as the truly old histories/myths of countries that have them? by raori921

Yup. My Dad grew up in the area that the Riel Rebellion was fought in, and so those stories were a big part of their history growing up, while for me living in a different part of the country it was just one short unit we studied one year. It's a big country, so I'm sure there are lots of regional 'myths' as well.
