INDIAN LODGE TALES.
Navajo Legend of Creation)
By Ford G.. Prick.

The Indian tribes of the great
mountain region left no written
history of their goings and COM
ings. But their life was rich in
legend and tradition-stories hand
ed down from generation to gen
Grafton until they came to be a
part of that great mass of material
which, for lack of better name.
we must call aboriginal literature.
These ancient warriors knew
nothing of reading and writing.
But they were philosophers in
their way, even as they we're
students of nature and keen OBJ
servers of everything about them.
Like children they were curious
and lacking fact they wove their
own theories concerning the life
they lived and the environment
which they knew. ~. ::Il
Today the Indian rapidly is dis
appearing. Swept away from his
natural haunts by the white man.
he remains a mere remnant of the
great race which once knew no
superior in all the great region.
But the legends still live; monu-
ments to the philosophers of the
tribesmen who gave them birth.
OF all the Indian legends now
existent, none is more interesting
than the Navajo legend of creation.
Here it is as told the writer by
Navajo Bill. who in turn had it
from the Navajo chieftains whom
ne knew fifty years ago when first
he visited the reservation which
has since been his home.
In the dim and distant ages
when time was young the Navajos
lived in world of darkness, deep
underground. Then there was No
sunlight to bring warmth and joy;
no bright rays of sunshine to make
the corn grow and the fruit ripeni
There was no night and mol day,
for all was darkness and even the
beasts and the birds we're unable
to see their way about; but could
only wander in darkness, knowing
not whittier they went or how they
came. s 1Ea5*~ ~ b

unhappy, hut they knew not how
or where to turn to become happy.
But one day a warrior, more bold
than the others, set out on journ
eyrto find a new home for himself
and bis people. Long he urged
the other chieftains to accompany
him-but they were afraid, so
finally he went out alone and I'M
accompanied.
For many days he wandered in
the darkness, stumbling over hill
and dale, through water and over
high places. until be was nearly
exhausted. But still he kept on,
and finally ne looked up, aud there.
far above him, was hole, and
through the hole faint light was
shining and a single star looked
down upon him in all IT'S radiance.
And the warrior was much pleased.
So, with the light of the single
star to guide him, ne gathered to-.
gether many trees. And he killed
a deer and with the skin of the
deer he bound the trees together
until he had made for himself a
great ladder; aud Iheu, climbing
the ladder, he finally reached the
ceiling of darkness and through
the hole he looked into new
world.
. When be had rested, he climbed
through the hole and into new
rworld-a world OF silver light and
shadow-where all was not dark
ness, but where he was able to seq
objects about him. In this world
there was q moon, and stars to
light the way-and there was no
darkness, but a silver light from
the stars and the moon that made
a world of twilight and evening.
But the warrior was much pleased
for be had never known a great
er light than this. So he rested
and feasted and slept for many
days until he became lonely and
bethought himself of his tribesmen
who had remained behind. .
So he gathered together a great
bundle of moonbeams and, with
these on his back to light the way,
be descended again into the world
of darkness, and with a light heart
went in search of his tribesmen.
+ When he had returned again his
tribesmen gave him a great vel
come, for they thought him lost,
and they made HIM chief of the
tribe, and when he had told them
his story, appointed him guide
to lead them to the new world
where there was moon and stars
and light and happiness.
When, by and by, the tribe had
reached che ladder, they climbed
into the new world one by one,
.untilthey were all ere-warriors
and squaws and children; aud all
the beasts land birds, too, they
lifted up with them into the new
world; and they we're very happy.
The name of the new world they
called ''Kaleiae," and to the war
rior who had led them there they
gave the name of '.Chis Chill E.
Go"
So it was that the Navajos, who
were our forefathers. came out of
the world of darkness into the
world of twilight.
