This book celebrates the American Indian belief that the cycle of Creation is taking place around us at all times. In this beautifully illustrated edition, replete with stunning watercolors, Goble tells the remarkable Plains Indian story of the remaking of Earth after the flood. Weaving together the legends and myths of the Plains Indian tribes, including the stories of the Cheyenne, Blackfoot, Arapaho, and the Crow, this creation story also reveals the making of the buffaloes, mountains, plains, and plants, as well as Thunderbirds "with lightning in the blink of their eyes".
