Navajo Story of Creation George Rogers, who has recently returned from the Navajo country In New Mexico has obtained some Interesting In-teresting Information concerning these tribes. Most Interesting Is the Navajo Nav-ajo tradition of the creation of the world which Is practically Identical with tli at described In the Bible. First, there was a great god Ya. There was nothing but water and space. Then fa 'put forth his hand and the land came up out of the wh-ter. wh-ter. Again Ya put forth his hund and the sun, stars and moon appeared. Then Ta created a man and a woman. These two were the first Nuvnjos. Tim legend goes on, soys Mr. Rogers Rog-ers In the Mentor, paralleling Oene-tls Oene-tls even to the rainbow, -which appeared ap-peared In the sky as a sign between Ta and his people.
