GLOOSCAP

How men and animals were created to live in peace and plenty, and how evil intervened. Glooscap, chief of good and of power, came to earth together with his twin Malsum, who had been banished from the heavens for his misdeeds. Glooscap created the animals, and gave them their names, and prayed that they would live in peace and harmony. And then he created the Wabanaki, the first Indians. But his wolf-headed brother, out of jealousy and anger because he could not create anything, breathed suspicion, fear, and the threat of famine into the world. Though the world had been created for goodness, evil was here to stay. (26 minutes)
