The Creation of the Great World
In the beginning, there was nothing, only darkness. SO the Earth Dcotor made the earth by using dust he fashioned. H grew the trees and plants on the earth. Made the sun, then ice. Then the moon and the sea. Then so it wasn't lonely, blew into the sky a bunch of stars to fill the sky.
Spider's Creation
The spider was the first animal. He placed parcels with life in them and set it free. All the animals left out of them. The first women were the first mothers. He separated the people into clans. Then they all made the sun. The two mothers created the star people.

Kareya created the world. man last. Everyone was equal until he made man the leader and everyone else rank underneath. He decided rank with bow and arrow so coyote wanted to get there first and tried to stay awake all night. Then he fell asleep with his eyes pinned together. Every animal got there before him but the man felt sorry and made him more cunning.
