4. AMINT_180120_32.JPG: Creation Story, 2001 Harry Fonseca (Maidu, Hawaiian, Portuguese) Sacramento, California) In the beginning appeared Helin Maideh and Turtle on a raft; And it was black, it was dark For quite some time They floated around Then Turtle asked Helin Maideh For a place to rest. So Helin Maideh called ko-do-yam-peh And down came Ko-do-yam-peh On a feathered rope, In the form of the sun; He landed n the raft And Ko-do-yam-peh told Turtle, "If you want to rest, You have to work for it." So he took Turtle, Put Turtle In an endless sea. Turtle dove down Was gone for four days, four years, four hundred years - Time isn't that important. Anyway, Turtle returned More dead than alive. So, Ko-do-yam-peh took mud From under Turtle's paw, he took mud, Rolled it into a little ball And placed it on the water. It grew to become the world, Once the world was created, Ko-do-yam-peh created the animals and the plants, The streams and rivers And the mountain ranges. And then he created the first two people. And, he gave them the gifts of fire, The first bath, The Kum, And the changing seasons At first there was order, But after some time, Chaos returned to the people. Hummingbird was told "Fly to the north and bring back Hai-kut-wo-tu-peh and Wo-non-meh." Hummingbird returned Telling how to prepare For the visit Of these two old men. "Gather silently In the Kum With no light That they should not be seen." The two old men Descended, Through the smoke hole On the Kum. They talked to us. Then two young boys Threw pitch on the fire And the fire flared Exposing their bodies. Wo-non-meh's flesh was All edible animals, And Hai-kut-wo-tu-peh's All edible plants. When the fire burned low, The teaching began: "Limit chaos and Cultivate order: By singing, dancing, and Talking to each other. Realize life is short, Respect your elders, And recognize that death, is part of living." When the two old men left, The two young boys Fell over dead. And a rain of fire, Destroyed almost all. Except a few Who followed The old men's teachings And life was good. Over time, chaos returned Returns. And the lessons proved true, Are true. Story told by Henry Azbill, 2002 and put to verse by Judy Allison.
