"Sky Woman Falling" (Based on the old stories of First Nations, Sky Woman is the Creator's daughter and the first woman of human who fell from Heaven):

Based on religious stories of First Nation, the Sky Woman's daughter gives birth to twin sons: Good and Evil. Even prior to their birth, these two sons are in conflict. The good twin is born in the natural way, while his evil brother, jealous of his sibling's being born first, pushes himself out his mother's side and is born from under her left shoulder. The birth of the twins marks the beginning of the battle of good and evil on earth. Eventually the good twin defeats his evil brother, and banishes him to a pit under the earth. From this pit the evil twin sends emissaries that continue to bring evil into the world.
