What is the story with the hummingbird creating the sky?

Answer 1

Here is the story. One day long ago before humans were alive, it was always day. Then there were just some animals. There were two particular animals that were best friends named Bear and Salmon. All day they would play and have a good time. One of their favorite games was hide and go seek. So they played the game. Bear had found a really good hiding spot behind the tree. So he waited and waited and while he was waiting he thought it would be funny to jump out and surprise salmon. So, salmon was looking and finally he saw bears paw. He came and Bear jumped out but accidentally scratched salmon. Salmon cried and said he had to go home. Bear felt so bad so he just walked and walked. Then he noticed something on his claw it was a small piece of meat from salmon. He was so curious that he ate it and thought it was so good, but then after he ate it he felt bad and crazy for what he had done. He needed someone to talk too so he went to his next friend fox. He told him his story and was appalled and he said "Where's rabbit"? He is always with you? Then he coughed up a ball of white fur. Oh no, he ate rabbit. Bear was so disgusted that he went home to bed. The next morning he went to see if salmon was okay. Salmon said that he feels allot better and he wants to play hide and seek. So they did but bear couldn't find a good spot because he was concentrated on the wonderful smell of his best friend. So he came closer and closer to the smell. Then he opened his eyes and he was right behind salmon. Then when salmon turned around bear swallowed him whole. He was horrified. He cried and cried all day, but that started to get other animals mad, they all were fighting. That made the gods angry and to punish them they put a black sheet over the sun. Then the animals that could fly tried to reach the blanket and pull it off. But none could succeed Then the humming bird said "I want to try'. so they let her but when she got up there she was poking holes in the blanket then she just go so enthusiastic about it she started to make designs of her friends. But after a long time she got tired and fell to the ground. They all said great job. The gods were so happy with the drawing and the teamwork that he told them that he would take the sheet off for half the day and put the sheet on for the other. The animals agreed. So that is the story of how the humming bird created stars.

In some Native American cultures, there is a belief that a hummingbird created the sky by flying to great heights and spreading its wings to form the sky's expanse. This story symbolizes the importance of the natural world and the interconnectedness of all living beings.
