An Old Sioux Legend

An old Sioux legend - Ernesto Cole - Wisdom From Within story Native American tale fable.

An Old Sioux Legend

In ancient times, the Creator wanted to hide something from the humans until they were ready to see it.


He gathered all the other creatures of creation to ask their advice.


The eagle said, “Give it to me and I will take it to the highest mountain in all the land.”


But, the Creator said, “No, one day they will conquer the mountain and find it.”


The salmon said, “Leave it with me and I will hide it at the very bottom of the ocean.”


But, the Creator said, “No, for humans are explorers at heart, and one day they will go there too.”


The buffalo said, “I will take it and bury in the very heart of the Great Plains.”


But, the Creator said, “No, for one day even the skin of the earth will be ripped open, and they will find it there.”


The creatures of creation were stumped, but then and old blind mole spoke up. “Why don’t you put it inside them? That’s the very last place they’ll look.”


The Creator said, “It is done.”
