"AMONG THE WOTJOBALUK "OF SOUTHEASTERN AUSTRALIA, THE SUN MOTHER'S NAME WAS "GNOWEE. "ACCORDING TO LEGEND, SHE LIVED ON THE EARTH WHEN IT WAS NEW AND IN DARKNESS, A TIME BEFORE THERE WAS NO SUN, AND PEOPLE HAD TO CARRY BARK TORCHES TO FIND THEIR WAY AROUND. IN SUCH A DARK WORLD, "GNOWEE" FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO FIND FOOD FOR HER SLEEPING CHILD. YAMS WERE SCARCE, AND SHE WANDERED TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH IN SEARCH OF THEM, BUT NO FOOD COULD BE FOUND.
FINALLY, SHE TURNED TO GO BACK AND DISCOVERED THAT SHE COULD NOT FIND HER WAY BACK IN THE DARKNESS. SHE WALKED AND WALKED, BUT COULD NOT FIND HER SON ANYWHERE. EVENTUALLY SHE CLIMBED UP INTO THE SKY CARRYING HER TORCH TO GET A BETTER VIEW, BUT SHE NEVER FOUND HIM. AND, TO THIS DAY, SHE STILL WANDERS ACROSS THE FACE OF THE EARTH, AND UNDERNEATH IT...LOOKING FOR HER SON...AND THIS IS WHY THE SUN RISES AND SETS EVERY DAY.
LEGEND STATES THAT IF SHE EVER FINDS HIM, HER TORCH WILL BE EXTINGUISHED, AND THE WORLD WILL BE PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS ONCE AGAIN.

CORN MOTHER is the Native American Goddess of renewal, motherhood, and you guessed it, corn. She was the first mother of the people on earth, and they were great hunters. Unfortunately, they hunted so much that the animals were almost all killed off, and there was no meat left to eat. The children came to Corn Mother and asked her for food, but she had none to give. Corn Mother then said to her husband, "you must kill me and have our sons drag my body on a cleared patch of earth until there is no flesh left on my bones. Then bury my bones in the center of the patch. Leave this place for seven moons, and when you return there will be food enough for all."
Corn Mother's husband did as she had asked, and her sons dragged her body until there was no flesh left. They buried the bones in the center of the clearing, and then went away in grief. Seven months later, they returned to find tall plants with tassels of silken hair such as Corn Mother had. These plants were what had become of Corn Mother's flesh--it had turned to corn for the people to eat. At the center of the clearing where her bones were buried, there was a plant with broad leaves. This plant was tobacco, which the people used in ceremonies to celebrate the bounty that Corn Mother gave them.
