Two brothers, Chata and Chicksah led the original people from a land in the far west that had ceased to prosper. The people traveled for a long time, guided by a magical pole. Each night, when the people stopped to camp, the pole was placed in the ground and in the morning the people would travel in the direction in which the pole leaned. After traveling for an extremely long time, they finally came to a place where the pole remained upright. Chicksah took half the people North, Chata stayed.

At first there was water. All animals lived above it until one day Dayuni’si volunteered to explore the water. He went everywhere and could find no earth so he dived but all he found was mud. This expanded into the earth we know. Then an animal attached the earth to the sky with 4 strings. The land was too soft and so they sent Buzzard to go prepare it but he grew tired and his wings hit the earth and created the Cherokee mountains and valleys. The animals then decided to create a sun.(Cherokee) Native American Cherokee, Cherokee Chief
