The creating power made a flood and everything died except Kangi the crow. Kangi needed a place to rest so he asked the creating power to make a resting place. So the creating power pulled out his magical bag that contained all sorts of animals. He needs them to get mud from the bottom to make more land. First he pulled out a loon but the loon couldn't get any mud. The otter and beaver followed but neither could get any mud. Then came the turtle the turtle stayed underwater for a very long time so long that they thought the turtle had drowned. Then the turtle came up with some mud. The creating power then made land by waiving eagle feathers over the mud, he also cried which made lakes rivers and oceans. He then named it the turtle continent. He then told do not make the earth ugly or he will destroy it again.

Cherokee- Creation of Everything                                                                                                                                                                             Before people, the world was full of water. There was a single floating island, kept in the air by ropes representing the four main directions. It was hanging from the sky. There were no people, but the animals lived above the rainbow. The animals started running out of room so they sent Water Beetle to look for more space under water. Water Beetle brought up mud and created the land. The land was too soft for the animals so later on Grandfather Buzzard went to see if the land had gotten hard yet. The gust from Grandfather Buzzard flying created the mountains and valleys. It was still dark when the land hardened so the animals dragged out the sun. The sun was way too hot so the sun was put higher up and given a path so the light could be shared with everyone. The creator placed plants then told them and the animals to stay awake for seven days and nights. The only plants who were able to stay awake were the evergreen trees. All of the nocturnal animals today were the only animals to stay awake and they were given the gift of seeing in the dark. People were finally created and could give birth weekly, but the creator didn’t want people to become overpopulated so the creator changed the weekly births to yearly.-Owen W.

In the beginning there were only two deities who though of mountains, trees and the valleys, and then they were created. Then they made beings out of clay, which got wet and didn't work, then they used wood which also proved useless. To get rid of the beings, the deities sent a flood. They started over with only four beings Crow, Parrot, Mountain Lion, and coyote. Over time the beings helped develop other animals and in the future, us.

The Iroquois believed the world started out as water and a Sky World. A woman found out she was pregnant, and her husband threw her from the sky. A turtle in the water caught her just before she fell in. Then, the animals all began collecting mud, sand, and materials to create land on the turtle's back for the woman to sit on. A spirit from the Sky World came down and saw how wonderful the Earth was, and created people to live on it. Now, the Earth rests on the turtle's back.

In the beginning nothing existed and a yellow disc emerged from nowhere. Inside the disc sat a bearded man, the creator. He looked to every direction and created light. Then he created 3 other Gods; a little girl, a Sun-God, and a small boy. Then he created a tarantula and a small brown ball not much larger than a bean. The brown ball grew to the size of the earth by the 4 gods kicking the ball around. The tarantula spun a cord to the North, South, East, and West. With mighty pulls in each direction the earth was stretched to its immeasurable size. Then the creator created the rest of the features and beings on earth. Lincoln

How Humans Were Created - Told by the Chelan Tribe

The Creator made the world and then animals to live in it. The Creator left the animals for awhile but told then that when he came back he would make humans to be in charge of them. When the Creator came back, the animals had some complaints about their names. For complaining, the Creator decided to not make the humans. He then told the animals that they themselves would have to turn the Beaver into a human. The Creator gave his power to the Coyote and told him he would be in charge of making the humans. The Coyote used his new powers to fix problems and make the world a better place. He eventually tried to change the rules the Creator had laid out and because of that the Creator told him someone else would make the humans. The new power went to the youngest wolf brother. The oldest wolf brother told him to kill the Beaver to make knives out of his teeth. Instead, the youngest brother did as he was told and turned the Beaver into 12 parts which then turned into different tribes. One of those tribes were the Chelan, who went to go live by the Chelan Lake. There, they were able to see pictures the Creator left for them that taught them how to make things such as bows and salmon traps. -Riley D

How Day and Night was Created - Told by the Cherokee Tribe

Long ago, a big island hung from four thick ropes from the sky, and the sky was solid rock. There were no people and it was always dark. The animals could not see, so they took the sun and put it in a path that made it go from east to west every day. The animals and plants were told by the Great Spirit not to sleep for seven days and seven nights. The plants that stayed awake, such as pine trees, cedar trees, and a few others, were given the reward of being able to stay green all year. The other plants that fell asleep were made to either lose their leaves or die every winter. The animals that stayed awake, such as the owl, the mountain lion, and others, were rewarded with the ability to see in the dark. Then, the people appeared.

Life was put onto the Earth by Talapas, the Creator. Later he put animals of all the totem spirits on Earth as well. He instructed the Thunderbird  to place these special eggs on top of Kaheese, a mountain near the Columbia River. The Old Giantess broke the eggs so they wouldn't hatch. The spirit bird swooped down and lit her on fire with fire from the sun, out of revenge. The remaining eggs hatched and became the Chinook. -Saige

Fire got upset and began to eat all the trees in the forest. It burned brightly until it was gone. Then bear said you can have some acorns to eat and he grabbed the fire. That is why man now has fire today.
