According to many Native American legends, the animal character Woodpecker as instrumental
in bringing fire to earth.
Long ago, when there was no fire, the chief of the animal people
devised a plan to enter the sky country and bring back some fire. He told the animal people to
make bows and arrows to shoot at the sky. When they hit the sky, they would make a chain of
arrows down to the earth.
They would then climb the chain to the sky and steal some fire.
Unfortunately, none of them succeeded in hitting the sky with their arrows. Then Woodpecker
began to work.
He made a bow from the rib of Elk and arrows from the serviceberry bush.
He used feathers from Golden Eagle and Bald Eagle and arrow-heads from Flint Rock. When
the animal people met again, they all laughed at Woodpecker, saying he could not hit the sky
with his arrows.
Woodpecker to try.
However, their own arrows fell short of the sky, so the chief asked
When Woodpecker shot his first arrow, it hit the sky.
Then each
following arrow stuck in the neck of the preceding arrow until there was a chain of arrows down
to the earth.
One by one, they all ran swiftly up the chain of arrows to the sky.
had stolen some fire, they raced to the arrow chain, chased by the sky people, but the chain had
broken. To escape, each bird took an animal to earth on its back. When they reached the earth,
their chief told them to divide the fire among all people, so Horsefly and Hummingbird carried
the fire to all parts of the country.
