In "How the World Was Made: A Cherokee Creation Myth," the story unfolds the origins of the earth through the eyes of the Cherokee people. It tells of the Sky World, where the first beings lived, and the journey of a pregnant woman who falls from the sky. With the help of various animals, she retrieves mud from the bottom of the ocean, which expands to create land. As other elements of nature emerge, the tale illustrates the interconnectedness of all life. Rich in symbolism and wisdom, it conveys the Cherokees’ deep respect for nature and the sacredness of creation. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
