It was the beginning of time, when the Earth was young, the land was sweet, and the mountains kissed the sky. A time when man and nature lived side by side. The chief and his wife of the Aniwahaya tribe wanted to have a family. They looked up and begged the great spirits of the sky to give them a child, at least one. Their only wish. Unelanuhi, the Sun Goddess, and Hanwi, the Moon God, heard the humans’ plead and wanted to grant them their desires. Unelanuhi and Hanwi decided to meet each other in the clouds above to discuss their decision.
Hanwi wanted the child to x a female warrior that defends all. A future chief to lead the people of the land. The Sun Goddess disagreed. She prefer that the child should not get involved with violence. She told Hanwi that she would make the daughter to be kind to everyone and everything. Even when the girl becomes a woman, she will still be innocent. The Moon God thought the idea was distasteful. Unelanuhi and Hanwi argued on which child to present to the chief. Then, the god and goddess went separate ways. This was the start of the competition between the Sun and the Moon.
Hanwi did just what he said to the Unelanuhi. He used the strongest stones and coldest ice, from the highest mountain, to sculpt the child. He gave her the spirit of the wolf. It would gift her with the speed and the strength of a warrior. Wars are bound to happen, and she must be prepared, he thought. Most importantly the wolf symbolized her loyalty. The God also gave her the soul of a leader, a great trait for the daughter of the chief. As when he is gone, she will take control.
Unelanuhi started to create her version of the child as well. She used the lightest of feathers and the softest clouds for the child. Her soul was so kind, people would come from across the seas and past the mountains for her comfort. Her gentleness warming the hearts of all living creatures. Her peace would resolve wars. Her smile would almost be as bright as the Sun Goddess herself. Even though the child would be innocent, she would be a great future chief for her people. Since Unelanuhi wanted the chief’s daughter to be free spirited and pure, the Sun Goddess gifted her with the heart of the eagle.
Hanwi quickly sent a wolf to introduce the new baby to the chief and his wife. The wolf obediently followed the god’s demands, carefully picked up the child, and dashed toward the Aniwahaya tribe. Unelanuhi finished the final touches on her version of the child and ordered an eagle to take her to the tribe as well. The bird’s talons reached for the new daughter and flew away.
The dark-grey wolf arrived first and spoke to the chief, “I present you your daughter, Miakoda. She shall be a loyal warrior and has the strength to prove it. A helper and defender to the tribe.” Suddenly, the light-brown eagle swooped down and placed the other child in front of the chief, “I offer your child, Donoma. She is even more gentle than my own feathers and always so bright. She will symbolizes the eternal bloom of your tribe.” The animals glared at each other. The tension then broke after hearing giggles erupt from the children. Miakoda and Donoma were playing with each other. The obvious bond between the girls was indescribable.
The chief and his wife lovingly watched their new kids play. The wolf and eagle saw the children become sisters and friends. They smiled and went off to tell the Gods the new turn of events. The Sun and the Moon were pleased with the results, who knew opposites can be so fitting?
