A Cherokee Myth about Stars
What are stars? Many people have an idea of what stars are made of. Both children and adults may say they could be lights, people or creatures covered in lights.
A group of hunters were camping in the mountains. One night they saw two lights moving high upon the mountain ledge. They stared at the two lights. Then the lights moved over to the other side of the mountain. They were out of sight. Every night the hunters would watch the two lights. After a few nights, the hunters decided to find out what the two lights were. The next morning the hunters walked over the mountain ledge to the other side. They found the two lights, but they were two unusual creatures. They had round bodies, and their bodies were covered with fur. When the wind blew, the bright sparks of light flew out from the fur.
The group of hunters decided to take these creatures home. After a few days, the hunters realized that the creatures would glow bright at night. However, they became balls of gray fur during the day. Only during the wind, the creatures would glow. The creatures never said a word and they did not leave. Then after seven days, the creatures rose up quickly glowing and moved up into the night sky. The hunters watched and realized that they were stars.
