When Grizzlies Walked Upright
The Chief of the Sky Spirits is meannt to be "God" in this story. He creates Earth with a stone and puts a mountain on it first. Then he starts to walk down his mountain putting his finger on spots on the earth creating trees. The snow melted under his feet creating rivers. He then breaks his walking stick and throws the big pieces in the water creating otter and beaver, and small pieces being the fish. Then he took the largest piece of thhe stick and created all other animals on earth, grizzly bears being biggest. He disliked them so he sent them away to live in the forest at the base of his mountain. When his daughter falls down the mountain and is taken by the grizzlies she becomes one of them. She is now apart of all other earth life and starts the cycle of evolution on Earth. This story is another way to explain how life started on earth. Also it explains how humans came to be as well as every other animal on the planet.
