Native American Origin Myth

 In today’s class we read an origin myth about the creation of Earth and Humanity. The myth featured First Man, First Woman, Salt Woman, Fire God, Coyote, and Begochiddy, the child of the Sun. To summarize the myth humans travelled across four different worlds in attempt to find a good world. The coyote stole a baby in the third world and that caused a flood created by Begochiddy. In the humans settled on the fourth world that is known as Earth. In the end Humans learn to live righteously and be grateful for what they have. Mr. Rease assigned us with creating our origin myth that is due in Friday.
