The Seven Stars
Apparently the seven youths of the world were standing around talking one day. See the seven youths are not sure if they have parents or really who, they belong to. The seven of them were trying to decide what they all could change into. One of them mentioned that they could change into the earth. The wise one of the seven said in truth it is mortal, it would cave in. Another suggested becoming water but still the wise one said no, that it is destructible and will eventually dry up completely. After other attempts to figure out what they should turn into the wise one finally spoke his opinion. The wise one brought up the shining things that live in the sky and the blue sky above never dies. He said let us become stars in that sky because the sky above is never dead. The Dipper
A wife was found cheating on her husband with a snake. When he saw her doing this he decided to kill her but first he killed all the snakes. The husband and wife had seven children, the husband told his kids to get away so they started to run. When the wife came to her husband in anger because all the snakes were dead, he cut off her head and it started to chase after the seven children. The head yelled, “I will kill all my children.” The kids started to run faster still being chased by their mother’s head. The only girl of the seven kids had an awl, she gave it to the brother and he threw it behind them trying to slow down their mother. The awl bought them three days but the head got past it and continued to chase her children. Then the girl gave her brother flint and he threw it behind them, starting a fire the head got all burnt from the fire but after a while it still got through and continued after the children. The girl kept giving her brother something to delay their mother with, but nothing seemed to hold her. Finally the sister made a ball and said, "Lets play ball." The seven children stood in a circle and threw the ball around. While they were doing that they rose up into the sky and became the Dipper. Their mother’s head could not jump high enough to reach them and they were safe.“The Seven Stars.” Indian Mythology. Indian Mythology. 2006. 7 November 2008.
