How Buzzard Got His Feathers
A long time ago the birds had no clothing. They spoke like people, but
they were shy and hid from sight. One day they decided to hold a great
council. "We must go to Creator and ask him for clothing," said Eagle.
So it was decided. But who would carry the message?
Many birds volunteered. But finally they chose Buzzard. He could fly
great distances because of his long wings, and he could soar higher
than any of the other birds and so come more easily to the sun-place,
where Creator lived. All of the birds burned tobacco and sent their
prayers up to creator, and then buzzard set out on his way.
It was a long journey. Buzzard flew and flew. He ate the food he had
carried with him and still he was far from the place of Creator. He
became hungry, so hungry that he stopped and ate some dead fish washed
up on the shore below him. They were rotten and smelled had. But his
hunger was great, and he did not notice.
He continued on his way. Now he was close to the sun-place; he went
higher and higher. It grew fiery hot from the sun, but still he flew up
and up. The skin on top of his naked head burned red in the sun's heat,
but at last he came to the place of Creator.
