Monster Slayer and Child Born of Water


In the beginning, there was Changing Woman and her sons, the Twins, Monster Slayer and Child Born of Water. When the boys were twelve years old, they asked, "Who is our father?" Changing Woman told them the Sun was their father, so the Twins undertook a difficult journey to reach him.

(From the Navaho myth "Where the Two Came To Their Father")
