people about the feathers and the moon

you see a long long time ago

first man at first woman lived on this

earth it was a magical time then a

shadowy silvery time

in the earth and very little light first

man and first woman wanted more light so

a wonderful idea was born they needed a

Sun and a moon they made the Sun out of

a round piece of rock crystal take place

turquoise rays of red rain and bars of

lightning around the crystal then they

placed a circle of feathers around

beside first man and first woman chose a

strong young man to carry the Sun into

the sky he was given the name Johanna a

the one who takes care of the day you're

hunting it put the Sun into the sky

right wear it you are then first man and

first woman created the moon they use

rock star mica with bright shells around

it and on the moon's base they place

lightning and a holy mixture of spring

water rain water snow water and hail

water then they placed a circle of

feathers around the moon a wise old man

was chosen to carry the moon he was

given the name planet egg the one who

takes care of the night to hunt and try

to fly the rainy to the sky but he was

old and it was very hard for him so

first man asks the wind to help win

and left it the old man up into the sky

and he could move right where it belong

right into moon's base even today sky
