Hopi Creation Story

in hopi-legend •  6 years ago 


The Creator gathered all creation and said;
"I want to hide something from humans until they're ready for it.
It is the perception that they create their own reality."

The Eagle said, "give it to me. I'll take it to the moon."
the Creator said : "no one day, they will go there and find it."

The Salmon said, "I'll bury it at the bottom of the ocean."
The Creator said, "no they will go there, too."

The Buffalo said, "I will bury it in the great plains."
The Creator said, "they will cut into the skin of the earth and
find it still there."

The Mole Grandmother, who lives in the bosom of mother earth, and
who has no physical eyes, but sees with spiritual eyes, said,
"put it inside them."
And the Creator said,

"it's done."
