The earth was once a human being: Old one made her out of a woman . "you will be the mother of all people,"he said. | Earth is alive yet,but she has been changed .The soil is her flesh,the rocks are her bones,the wind is her breath,trees and grass are her hair. She lives spread out ,and we live on her,when she moves,we have a earthquake. After taking the woman and changing her to earth,old one gathered some of her flesh and rolled it into a ball,as people do with mud or clay. He made the first group of balls into the ancients, the beings of early world. The ancients were people,yet also animals.In form some looked human while some walked on all fours like animals.Some could fly like birds;others could swim like fish. All had the gift of speech,as well as greater powers and cunning as animals or people. But deer were never amung the ancient;they were always animals as they are today. Besides the ancients, real people and real animals lived on earth at that time. Old one made the people out of the last balls of mud he took froom the earth.He rolled them over and over,shaped them like indians,and blew on them to bring them alive.They knowed nothing of the ways of earth.So the old one sent the coyote to teach them the ways of the inidians and to live a better life always. My grand farther told me this story as a child enjoy it. Shadowhawk
