Navajo tale of Creation

The Navajo Creation story describes how the world was formed from a series of divine beings emerging from beneath the Earth, creating land, water, and life. In the beginning, the First Man and First Woman, emerging from under the Earth, journeyed through many worlds before reaching the current one. They fashioned the land, plants, animals, and humans, guided by spiritual beings like the Holy People. This story emphasizes balance, harmony, and the interconnectedness of all life, highlighting the Navajo worldview of living respectfully within a sacred, ordered universe.
