In the beginning of time, there was nothing: neither sky, nor sea, nor land just the cosmic world. In this world there were immortals known as Star people. There was one rule in the place they lived, do not muddle around with the hole in the ground. The hole had been there for generation no one knows how or why it came to be. Then one crucial day one immortal named Cur went prodding around the hole, he fell down, down; down he went till he hit the bottom. He looked up and saw all the Star People running around looking like blotches. It did not take long for the other Star People to notice that he was absent. They got together and shaped a wheel that held a torch in place to see into the void of the hole. As a result of this light appeared through hole, Cur began to cry …show more content…
He spoke then to the people saying “don’t be greedy when hunting the creatures they are my creation just as you.” For drinking Cur made lakes and rivers out of his tears the water was untainted. The humans and Cur lived in tranquility for years till the humans became materialistic. Humans began to cut the trees to form houses and hunted to store meat. This enraged Cur; drawing into the ground he drew meat eating creatures that would pursue the animals and humans. This was not the last of the rage he would confer to this world. Taking the dust he blew with it, this caused the ground to soar into the air creating mounds, valleys and mountains. With his world in ruin Cur shed a single tear, the tear hit the ground creating massive amount a water to spread and fill the land. Most of the land was covered, but the humans bolted to the mountains that were not covered. Taking the last of the dust and wanting to be away from the humans Cur jumped into the water producing him to convert into the creatures of the sea. The Star people lived the rest of not interfering and the humans lived on the new world to rule it as their

The sky world, similar to the Christian Garden of Eden, contained a powerful tree of life which sustained a world teeming with life including beings. One day, the tree was uprooted and pushed through a hole in the sky in order to create a new world
Thus beginning the but the animal yet again where worried that now the man would grow lonely, so then Hactcin, with a lice made the man dream of a women. When he had woken there she was, and they were instructed to eat plants and animal. From the first man and women come all people of their tribe after. Apache spirit “Holy Boy” tried to make the sun and with help of White and Black Hactcin and Red Boy they made what daylight is to us now. Shamans claimed they controlled the sun but four days after an eclipse occurred and unable to bring the light back, White Hactcin called upon the animal and with their help they created a mountain. This mountain was climbed by White, Black Hactcin and Holy boy as well as Red boy who only saw the sun was in another earth where it shined bright. Man and women where the first to climb up the mountain and there all others come up except two, an old man and an old women.

The Sioux creation story and the book of Genesis in the Bible both mirror an image of how the world along with human life was created. When forming their creations they were dissimilar in the way they produced water and land. In Genesis God created water by just a spoken word and it would appear. However, the Creating Power would form his creations with objects using his hands to form land from mud the story states “He sang all the while that he shaped the mud in his hands and spread it on the water to make a spot of dry land for himself.” Additionally, he completely covers everything with land by a command and using feathers from an eagle by waving them over the spot he had produced. Both of these stories reveal that in a previous time their God was unpleased with what he had created so he destroyed the world because of the people’s acts of immorality and unruliness. Also, this gives reflection on the role of the natural world being impure, failed and contaminated by sin and only the grace of “God” can save them. When God or the “Creating Power” recreated the world in their effort to maintain order people needed to understand how powerful and almighty they were by being able to create life or to end it.
God’s command to “fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion” (Gen 1:28) by tilling the earth shows that man’s capacity to dominate the earth lies within himself, transforming it to his own needs.
80-90) After the first attempts at humans, the gods move from wet and crumbly clay to a material that is hard and craveable, wood. The people that were formed from wood were sturdy and retained shape with means to multiply, unlike the previous mud people. Although the wood people had function and form, they lacked the mental and spiritual minds which the gods desired from their creations. The wood effigies had the appearance and spoke like people, but they did not remember their makers. “Thus they were not capable of understanding before their Framer and their Shaper, those who had given them birth and given them hearts.” (Christenson, pp. 86) The gods decide to destroy the wood people because they lack the intended function of humans for the gods. Heart of Sky brings down a great flood and tempest from the sky, which results in catastrophic violence from the subservient creatures. The flood and violence created a state of emergency through the world and led to a disruption in
The Earth was too wet so the animals sent the Great Buzzard from Galun’lati and told him to go and make it ready for them. He flew all around the land, but it was still soft. By the time he had traveled to Cherokee country, he was tired – as his wings flapped the ground, they created mountains and valleys. The animals concluded that the land was too dark so they made the sun and gave it a path to travel on each day from the east to the west. After the plants and animals, humans were created. They
They created the landscape, mountains, rivers, trees, waterholes, plains and sand hills and made humans who are the dreamtime ancestors. They also made natural elements like water, air, fire and last of all they made celestial bodies: the sun, moon and the stars. After this the mythical creatures returned to the Earth and sank back into their state of sleep, some say that the spirits turned into part of the landscape, these became sacred places of worship.
In the beginning, the world was all water. Above the water, there was a great ivory cloud, full of people and animals. The people used the animals as slaves and told them what to do. The animals would have to clean, cook and work for the humans. One day a Nene, named Faddei, refused to work for the humans. That day the humans battered Faddei for not working, later he snuck out and told all the animals to meet him under the willow tree. That night at the willow tree he and the other animals formed a coalition against the humans. The animals went on strike against the humans. Later, the humans declared war on the animals. The animals surrounded the humans and started to push them off the cloud one by one. As the humans fell the fish down below
God created man and beasts to live on the earth. Regretting all that He has done. With God saying, “I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” In saying this, God destroyed everyone, but Noah’s family (Genesis 6:6-7).

In the world there were two mighty gods, Mazama and Pacífico. Deep underground, in the swirling flames of magma lived the great god of fire and death, Mazama. He tended to keep to himself, and let mankind live in peace, unless he was disturbed from slumber. Nonetheless, mankind feared him, from time to time he would burst from his home in his true form. Away from the roaring sea, stood the bleak slopes. Rising higher, higher than anything else. The cone was dark. Lifeless. That's what Mazama wanted the humans to think. Deep in the structure, deeper than any human had ever been, lay Mazama. Flowing, bubbling, scorching. The vibrant red was hidden whilst in slumber.
