520 $aLegends from seven different tribes about how humans came to be. "Before all things began" is a Zuni tale of how Father Sky and Mother Earth prepared the world for the first inhabitants. A Mandan story, "From darkness to light" shows how the first people climbed out of the ground on a vine root, but the root broke and left half of them trapped in the darkness below ground forever. The Cree give us "The Raft" which relates how the Giant Beaver, who wanted the world covered with water, and Wisagatcak, who wanted to create some land, were trying to outdo each other. Wisagatcak made a raft and, with Wolf's help, created land for the people. "Big Raven creates the world" is a Chuckchee tale that shows how Big Raven created the world for man to inhabit but needed the help of Spider Woman to create companions for the men. An Osage story, "A place to have children" relates how the spirits of people and animals lived in the lower parts of heaven, but wanted to have bodies, a place to live, and children. This is their search to find someone who could give them bodies and a home. "Creation" is from the Mohawk. This is a sad story with a strong moral about behaving properly and doing the right thing, even against the greatest adversity. In the end, everything works out well -- the world is completed and man is created. "Bones in the basket" is a funny story from the Modoc. The Creator sure has a hard time trying to create humans from a basket of bones. Each time he tries to bring the bones into the world, they get scared and run back into the underground world of darkness.
