The Cussitaws come East
A Creek Legend
At a certain time the earth opened in the west, where its mouth
is. The earth opened and the Cussitaws came out of its mouth, and
settled nearby. But the earth became angry and ate up their children;
therefore,they moved farther west.
A part of them however,turned back, and came again to the same
place where they had been, and settled there. The greater number
remained behind, because they thought it best to do so. Their children
nevertheless, were eaten by the Earth, so that, full of satisfaction,
they journeyed toward the sunrise.
