Excerpt from Traditions of the Crows
The brave Duck went down and was gone a long time, and when it came up it carried upon its beak some dirt that it gave to old-man, who held it in his hand until it became dry; then he blew it in various directions and made land and the mountains and the rivers.
Old-man, who was all powerful, was asked by the Ducks to make other living things. Old-man took more dirt in his hand and after it dried, blew it out, and there stood a man and a woman that were Crow Indians; and from this dirt Crows appeared. Old-man explained to them how to increase in number.
