Final answer:

Without additional context, we cannot determine how the Swedish minister responded to the Chiefs' creation story. Historical responses of European ministers to Indigenous stories varied widely, with skepticism or disapproval being common in colonial contexts.

Step-by-step explanation:

The response of the Swedish minister to the Chiefs' creation story is not provided in the question, so we cannot definitively say if he was disinterested, fascinated, offended, or skeptical. However, historically, when European ministers were presented with Indigenous creation stories, their responses could range widely depending on their own beliefs, cultural sensitivity, and purpose of interaction. It was common for European ministers in colonial contexts to be skeptical or disapproving of such stories, as they often viewed their own religion and cultural narratives as superior. If it's a part of a specific historical event or text, one would need additional context to know how the Swedish minister reacted.
