Little White Beetle and the Holy Ones The Leaders of today were molded from hard work and honest mistakes, and hard learned lessons. This story is about the stars and planets, and the role one small creature played in shaping and molding the universe as we know them today. Our leaders were not born with great wisdom; wisdom comes slowly with age and size. Just as a child speaks with childish words, so his thoughts reflect his growth, and so it was with all young creatures of Mother Earth. White Beetle, too, was very young and foolish in the beginning. In the first world, the black world. Folding Darkness also known as Black Body and Holy Spirit Wind God, decided with the holy ones. They will create the heavens and make the stars from the crystals (Fire Quartz), now used as offerings to the holy ones. Folding Darkness God arranged the stars in straight rows from East to West. The stars had been placed so well that night was like day without sunlight; starlight was brighter than the full moon. This job of taking care of the stars and the universe became cumbersome and Folding Darkness God was not fulfilling other obligations in the heavens, thus Folding Darkness God began to search for a star keeper to do this job in his absence. White Beetle had the perfect qualities to do the job, and was picked to be Chief Starkeeper and Companion of the Morning and Evening stars. White Beetle had a bright white, round shape back, that was as bright as the full moon. Little White Beetle would begin his job every evening as soon as the sun retired with Changing Woman (Mother Earth) to her home in the west. He would pick the stars according to importance of order in the universe. Cleaning very carefully, and shined each star before placing it in it's proper location in the evening sky, beginning from the east and working toward the west. By the time he had reached the western sky, the heavens would be filled with a bright array of starlight. In this way there was never a moment of darkness upon the land, for without light Earth dwellers are doomed to a limited experience. Before dawn each day, he began to pick out the stars from the night sky, starting from the east. Tenderly and affectionately he placed the stars in the basket, tucking them away for the night to come. He was always orderly and methodical, so as not to misplace any star or planet. By the time Father Sun rose over the eastern hills, White Beetle would finish his job with perfection. As the years went by and the cycles of night and day were decided by his brothers by playing the Shoe game. White Beetle began to tend to his basket less carefully, confident he was more favored than his older brothers upon the earth. One day his brother Coyote came to White Beetle's hogan and began bragging and talking about his efforts to create the cycles of night and day. White Beetle also began to brag about the sparkling sky, as if he had created it, saying "If it wasn't for my work, man would lose the enchantment of the night sky, and the night creatures would mourn their fate.
