When all the land was covered with water, the trickster Wisagatcak pulled up some trees and made a raft. On it, he collected many kinds of animals swimming in the waters.
The Raven left the raft, flying for a whole day, and saw no land, so Wisagatcak called the Wolf to help. Wolf ran around and around the raft with a ball of moss in his mouth.
The moss grew, and the earth grew on it. It spread on the raft and kept on growing untill it made the whole world.
This is how the Earth was created

Don't walk behind me;
I may not lead.
Don't walk in front of me;
I may not follow.
Walk beside me that we may be as one.
Ute Proverb
