The Singing Scoutmaster: Creation of the First Indians, The

In the time before time, when the world was still young and the land was untouched by human hands, the Great Spirit looked upon the earth and saw its vastness and potential. The Great Spirit decided to create beings to inhabit the land and care for its wonders.

From the sacred elements of the earth—clay, water, fire, and air—the Great Spirit formed the first humans. With gentle hands, the Great Spirit molded the clay into human shapes, imbuing them with the breath of life and the spark of consciousness.

As the first humans emerged from the earth, they looked upon their surroundings with wonder and awe. They felt a deep connection to the land, knowing that they were a part of its beauty and abundance.

The Great Spirit watched over the first humans with love and guidance, teaching them the ways of the earth and the importance of living in harmony with all living beings. The first humans learned to hunt and gather, to respect the plants and animals that sustained them, and to honor the spirits that dwelled in the land.

As time passed, the first humans multiplied and spread across the earth, forming tribes and communities that flourished in the embrace of the natural world. They built homes and villages, cultivated crops, and shared stories and traditions passed down from generation to generation.

And though the first humans faced many challenges and hardships along their journey, they never lost sight of their connection to the land and to each other. They knew that they were bound together by the ties of kinship and by their shared responsibility to care for the earth and all its inhabitants.

And so, the story of the creation of the first Indians became a sacred tale among Native American tribes, a reminder of their origins and their enduring connection to the land that sustains them.
