Told by Ben Simcoe, Chippewa (Ojibwa), of Rama Reserve, Ontario County.
He (the Creator) took some clay and made a man. He baked it; it was not
done enough. He threw it away; it was no good. This was the white man.
He took some more clay and made another man and baked it. This one was
baked too much, and was burnt. It was no good. He threw this away. This
was the negro.
He took another bit of clay and made a third man. He baked this and it
came out all right. It was just right. This was the Indian, better than
the white man or the negro.
