This is a story that George told me about the creation of Mother Earth. According to a story teller there was one prophet talking about God around the Yukon border. The information I got was about God, man and woman and mother earth. But it must be true, his story spreads out from the North, God sent Yamoria to help mankind. When Yamoria came to the Mackenzie Valley around 85,000 years ago, I said this number years because the Indian story teller tells about dinosaur and talks about giant bats, giant eagles flying around eating people and giant dinosaurs killing people. There were giant beavers that weigh about 3 tonnes. I have read a lot in the papers about history and scientific knowledge. Scientist in Canada claim in one report that Indian people talk about dinosaurs, its true they say. We found out that these giant animals were in the Northwest Territories 66,000 years ago. That’s what modern scientist says.
