michael jacobs (cherokee) - creation story lyrics

[verse]
a long, long time ago there was nothing at all…except for unetlvnv, the creator. and then he decided to make the universe. so he spoke…and the sun, the moon, and all the stars—everything in the sky—well they appeared. then he made our mother, the earth, and he put her in her place. he made everything on her—all the mountains, the deserts, the oceans, and the forests… and all the living, growing things. he made, the heat and the cold, the day and the night, and the beauty of the seasons. and he made the seven directions

then he made every creature: the four+legs, the no+legs, and the ones with wings. he made the winds that blow and gave everything its own song. he made all the things that you can see… and all the things you cannot

one day yowah, he made a two+leg out of the good red dirt
he formed and shaped its body, and breathed his own spirit into that two+leg. and he loved him like a father loves a son
and the creator said that life was good

but some time later, as sons often do, that two+leg well he wandered from his father’s way. and idodo, his heart was broken and he mourned for his son. he loved and grieved so much that he made a two+leg body for himself. and like danvtli (a brother), he came to find the lost one. and when he finally found the man, he restored their relationship and then began to re+make the man and all the creation again

so ever since the beginning, unetlvnv has been making and making, making and remaking again. and one day there will come a time that he will say, “behold, i am making all things new!” and then, as it was in the beginning, so it will be again and will remain so forever

sgi! “that’s it!”
