The sky woman had a dream of the tree being uprooted, so the sky caretaker uprooted it. The sky woman fell through the hole and was caught by a hawk. A turtle offered to help and a muskrat dived into the water, collecting mud to place on the turtle's back. The sky woman then dropped seeds onto the mud, creating the first earth.

    Summary
    • There was only water on earth, and then a sky world. Animals lived in
    the water, and humans lived in the sky world. There was a huge tree in
    the middle of the Sky world, the sky woman had a dream that it was
    uprooted. The sky caretaker decided that since it was such a strong
    dream, it had to happen. Once they uprooted it, there was a great hole,
    the sky woman fell down into it with a hand full of seeds from the
    roots of the tree. The hawk caught her, then the turtle offered help. The
    muskrat saw the sky woman on the turtles back then dived down and
    scooped as much as he can of soft mud. The muskrat puts the mud on
    the turtle's back then the sky women drops the seeds, and lives there.
