Pomo Indian Creation Legend
- Pomo Indian Creation Legend
In the myth of this tribe of California Indians it is told that
Marumda lived in the north and decided one day to create the world and called in his elder brother
Kuksu for assistance. After they had done so they were dissatisfied and decided to destroy it with a deluge, but this proved so disastrous that they themselves had to be rescued by
Ragno, the Old Mother. Again they tried to destroy the world, this time by fire, and again they had to be rescued. Finally they created man, and the ancestors of the tribe built a ceremonial dance house and they taught the people to dance, then, having done this, they left mankind to its own devices.
Another version tells how
Dasan and his father
Makila came from the waste of waters and brought civilization to mankind.
