THE BURNING OF THE WORLD
Cree
ONCE all the world was burned. Only a man and his mother and his sister were saved. Before the fire there were many people on earth. Then the young man fell out with his father, and they became enemies. The young man had heard that all the world was to be burned, but his father did not believe it.
Now the young man made a bow and arrows. He shot one arrow to the west, and one to the east, and one to the north, and one to the south. The places where the arrows fell were the four corners of a bit of ground which would not burn. The young man told everybody who wanted to be saved from the fire to come onto that square of land. Many did not believe the world would be burned, so they would not come.
After a while the fire came. They could hear it. They were encamped by the side of a big lake. By and by all the birds and animals came running to that bit of ground marked out by the arrows. The old man had quarreled with his son, so he would not come. The ​fire was very hot. All the water boiled because it was so hot.
After a while the fire was put out, and the water had settled down. Everything had to be started over again.
Now there were many animals on this patch of ground, and the man named some of them and told them what to do.
He put Beaver in the water, but Rabbit wanted to live in the water. The man said, "No." Then Rabbit jumped into the water and the man had to pull him out. He said to Rabbit, "Your legs are too long. Even if you do eat willow like Beaver, you don't go about in the water properly."
Squirrel wanted to be Bear. He did all he could to be Bear. He argued and chattered a great deal about it. The man said, "Oh, you're too noisy. You wouldn't be a good Bear." He said also, " If you are Bear, you are so noisy that when people come again, they will kill too many of you. A bear must keep quiet. He has many enemies." Then Squirrel began to weep. He wept until his eyes were white. Even today Squirrel has eyes bright and swollen from weeping.
The man made Bear then, because he was nice and wise and quiet.
Somebody wanted to be Caribou—nobody ​remembers just who wanted that. Then Deer was made, and made so swift that he could outrun all pursuers.
After the man had finished making all the animals, he put a mark on them, so people would know what they were.
Then the man had to give all the people new names. His mother he called Robin, because she was friendly. His sister he called Golden-winged Woodpecker, because she was beautiful. He called himself Blackbird because he would only come every spring.

COMING OF FIRE
Carrier
NOW after the animal people had won light by shouting "Khain," and "light," and had confused the old chief, they were very happy for a time. But they had no fire. The same old chief owned all the fire in the world. He kept it in his lodge, carefully guarded. Therefore the people resolved to steal it, because he would not give it to them.
Now the people laid their plans. They said Young Caribou and Muskrat must help. Then they put on their dancing aprons and their dancing masks, and went to the lodge of the old chief. Young Caribou had a fine headdress of pine shavings fastened to his horns. Young Muskrat had a dancing apron made of a marmot skin.
Oh, shelte! Oh, shelte!
Young Caribou, as he danced, jerked his head from side to side until the shavings caught fire. At once the old chief put them out with his hands. Everybody began to dance then, and Young Caribou let the shavings catch fire. And again the old chief put them out, though they were quite a blaze.
Now, while the old chief was busy watching Caribou, Muskrat had been busy. He had burrowed a tunnel through the earth. Then he quickly stole a piece of fire and slipped into his hole with it. The old chief was busy putting out the fire in the shavings on Caribou's horns. Everybody went on dancing.
Suddenly a person said, "Oh, look!" He pointed to a great mountain far away, near the edge of the sky. A great column of smoke rose from it. Then soon flames burst from the mountain top.
At once everybody knew that Muskrat had stolen the old chief's fire, and had given it to men and animals.

HOW FIRE WAS SECURED
Lillooet
BEAVER and Eagle lived with their sister in the Lillooet country. They had no fire at all, so they ate all their food raw. The sister cried and complained constantly because she had no fire at which to roast her dried salmon skins. At last the brothers said, "Don't cry any more. We will get fire for you. First we will need to train ourselves for a long time; but if you cry while we are training, we shall fail."
Beaver and Eagle went into the mountains and trained for four years. Then they knew where fire was, and they returned home and told their sister that they knew how to find it.
Now they started off. They traveled five days to the house of the people who owned the fire. Eagle drew over himself an eagle's body; and Beaver drew over himself a beaver's body.
Beaver at once went to work. He dammed the creek nearby and that night made a hole under that house. The next morning Beaver swam around in the pond of water made by the dam. An old man saw him and ​shot him. He took Beaver into the house and laid him beside the fire. He told the people to skin him. While they were skinning Beaver, they found a clamshell under his arm, which he had hidden there.
Just then the people saw a large eagle perched in a tree nearby. Quickly they wished for his feathers. At once they all ran out and began to shoot at him, but no one could hit him. And while they were shooting, Beaver was left alone.
Then Beaver rose quickly and put fire in his clam shell. He dug into the hole he had made beneath the house, and raced away to the water. He swam away with the fire.
As soon as Eagle saw that Beaver was safe, he flew away. Then they returned home. They gave fire to their sister.

HOW RAVEN BROUGHT FIRE
Haida
AT THAT time there was no fire to be seen. They did not even know of it. Raven went northward on the surface of the sea. Far out at sea a big kelp was growing out of the water, but the kelp head was gone, and many sparks came out of it. This was the first time that Raven had ever seen fire.
Then Raven went along to it on the bottom of the sea. Then the big fishes—the Black Whales, and the Dolphins, and others—wanted to kill him as he went along. Owner-of-the-Fire was the one to whom he went.
When Raven entered his house, Owner-of-the-Fire said to him, "Come and sit here, chief." Raven said, to him, "Will the chief give me fire?"
Owner-of-the-Fire gave fire to Raven, as he had been desired, and when he gave it to him, he put it in a stone tray. A cover was over it.
Raven went away with it. After he had gone up to the shore, Raven put a fragment of live coal into a cedar standing there. Because he put fire into the cedar, when people want to start a fire they use a drill of cedar, because fire comes from it.

OLD ONE
Shuswap
IN the days of the grandfathers men did not know anything at all about the other worlds. They knew very little even about the Earth Land.
Now in the Sky Land lived an old chief who was very wise and very kind, and with great magic. The son of the old chief died and he did not know where he had gone. Therefore Old One was very sorrowful. He wailed, "Where is my son gone? He cannot be dead. He has only gone away. But where has he gone?" In those days death did not happen often.
Therefore Old One began to travel. He went everywhere. He came down to the Earth World and went into the Shuswap country. Here he found the people very ignorant. He taught them how to fell trees and make twine, how to sew clothes and make needles and awls. He also taught them how to hunt game, how to trap, and dig roots, and gather berries so they would have food enough. So the people were much happier. There were no salmon there in those days; it was long afterward that Coyote brought the salmon up the river.
​After traveling all through the Shuswap country, Old One went on. It became known afterward that he traveled through the country of six different tribes, teaching all the people how to live, and looking always for his son.
When he lived at home in the Sky Land, Old One had two servants and several companions. His two servants were Beavers, and one slept at the head of his bed and one at the door of his house. Because they were nearer to him, Old One made them the most valuable of animals. That is why beaver fur is always so much sought after.

HOW GRIZZLY BEAR AND COYOTE MADE LIGHT AND THE SEASONS
Shuswap
ONE day Grizzly Bear met Coyote and said to him, "I am great in magic, greater than all of the people. When I wish a thing to be so, it has to be so. Now, I do not like having it dark so short a time. I intended to make it dark all the time."
Coyote said, "Oh, no! That would inconvenience the people too much."
Grizzly Bear said, "I intend to have it my way."
Coyote said, "No, you can't!"
Darkness! darkness! darkness! Let it always be dark!
That was his song.
Light! light! light! light! Let it always be light!
Thus Coyote sang.
They danced and sang a long, long time. Sometimes it was dark, when Grizzly sang loudest, and ​times it was light when Coyote sang loudest. But neither won.
At last Grizzly Bear became tired. He said, "Let's have it dark half the time, and light half the time." Coyote agreed. He said, "Hereafter it shall be light from the time that the sun prepares to follow the trail through the Sky Land until he reaches the edge of the Darkening Land. The rest of the time shall be night. Thus every day shall Sun travel. When he leaves the Earth Plain, the darkness shall follow him."
After a while, Grizzly Bear said, "I do not like the length of the year. Winter is far too short. Let winter be as many moons long as there are feathers in the tail of Blue Grouse." So they counted and found twenty-two feathers in the tail of Blue Grouse. Grizzly Bear wanted winter to be twenty-two moons long!
Coyote said at once, "Oh, no! The people would die. Let winter be half that number." Grizzly Bear objected. Then Coyote said, "Let there be as many moons in the year as there are feathers in Flicker's tail." Grizzly Bear agreed, because he thought there were many feathers in Flicker's tail.

​any change. So Coyote said, "Hereafter in a year there shall be six months of warm weather and six months in which it may snow and be cold."
Thus Coyote saved the people from living in darkness, and from very long, cold winters.

THE GREAT FIRE
Lillooet
WHEN Tsuntia and the four Black Bear brothers had traveled over the earth and put things to rights, they met one another at the edge of the earth. Black Bear brothers said, "There is yet one country where the people are bad. They were too strong for us. You go to that country and stop the sun so they will all be burned up." Thus they spoke to Tsuntia.
Tsuntia said, "If I go there and stop the sun, all the people in the world will be burned up and everything on earth besides."
The brothers would not believe this, so Tsuntia commanded the sun to stand still. Then the earth became so hot it was scorched. The tops of the trees began to smoke. The Black Bear brothers were overcome with the heat, and they began to be afraid. They said, "We see that you know and speak the truth. Now let the sun move on."
Tsuntia said to them, "Whistle at the sun, and he will go on." They said, "Oh, no. You do it." So ​Tsuntia whistled and pointed his finger at the sun. The sun followed his finger as he moved it toward the west. He moved his finger down over the mountains and the sun set rapidly.
Then a breeze sprang up and soon cooled the earth and the people. The bad people of that country were never punished. They are there yet, near the edge of the earth.

## Helping the Iraqi People Defeat the Terrorists and Build an Inclusive Democratic State

The following document articulates the broad strategy the President set forth in 2003 and provides an update on our progress as well as the challenges remaining.
   “The United States has no intention of determining the precise form of Iraq's new government. That choice belongs to the Iraqi people. Yet, we will ensure that one brutal dictator is not replaced by another. All Iraqis must have a voice in the new government, and all citizens must have their rights protected.
   “Rebuilding Iraq will require a sustained commitment from many nations, including our own: we will remain in Iraq as long as necessary, and not a day more.”
   —President George W. Bush February 26, 2003

# Missouri Executive Order 44

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article.
The 1838 order issued by Missouri Governor Lillburn W. Boggs to General John B. Clark to drive the Mormons from the state.
Headquarters of the Militia City of Jefferson, Oct. 27, 1838.
Sir:
Since the order of this morning to you, directing you to cause four hundred mounted men to be raised within your division, I have received by Amos Rees, Esq. of Ray county and Wiley C. Williams, Esq., one of my aids, information of the most appalling character, which entirely changes the face of things, and places the Mormons in the attitude of an open and avowed defiance of the laws, and of having made war upon the people of this State.
Your orders are, therefore, to hasten your operations with all possible speed. The Mormons must be treated as enemies, and must be exterminated or driven from the State if necessary, for the public peace – their outrages are beyond all description. If you can increase your force, you are authorized to do so, to any extent you may consider necessary.
I have just issued orders to Maj. Gen. Willock of Marion county, to raise five hundred men, and to march them to the northern part of Daviess, and there unite with General Doniphan, of Clay, who has been ordered with five hundred men to proceed to the same point for the purpose of intercepting the retreat of the Mormons to the north. They have been directed to communicate with you by express, you can also communicate with them if you find it necessary.
Instead, therefore, of proceeding as at first directed to reinstate the citizens in their homes, you will proceed immediately to Richmond and then operate against the Mormons.
Brig. Gen. Parks of Ray, has been ordered to have four hundred of his Brigade in readiness to join you at Richmond. The whole force will be placed under your command.
I am very respectfully, your ob't serv't, L. W. BOGGS, Comm.-in-Chief.
