Answer: It features a reference to the origin of the tribe.

Why: One central function of myth is to explain origins—of the world, a people, customs, or place. If the excerpt describes how the tribe began, names ancestors, or tells a founding event, it is performing that explanatory/origin role, which is a hallmark of myth (often tied to supernatural action or beings).
