The Day the Earth Rose Up
by Alreda Beartrack-Algeo
A Lakota author’s version of how the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters star formation, came to be.
When seven Lakota sisters venture deep into the forest to gather chokecherries, they are surprised and chased by a giant bear. As they huddle together on a rock ledge and pray for help, the earth rises up, taking them out of reach of the bear. A great eagle rescues the Seven Sisters by taking them to the Star Nation, where they become the Pleiades star formation we see in the night sky.
