THE SURVIVORS: THE OJIBWE TRIBE
This story comes from a tribe from northeastern North America, the Ojibwe, part of the larger Algonquin tribal group, who also called themselves "The First Nation People." Their traditions go back to the Ice Age. What follows is one of their oldest stories, and one of the most symbolic of the stories that have survived.
Like other Ancient Stories of The Binary Solar System, this one describes the passage of a glowing star with a long tail. And like other Ancient Prophecies, it also warns that the star will come back again one day.
Long-Tailed-Heavenly-Climbing-Star
Once long, long ago, Chimantou, the Great Spirit, visited the Ojibwe tribe, who lived near the edge of the Frozen Lands. Chimantou warned them that a dangerous star was about to fall and urged them to hurry to the bog to cover their bodies with mud. Most People did not recognize the Great Spirit, however, and made fun of Chimantou. "Do not listen. That man is just a crazy person," they said, laughing. "Cover ourselves with mud! Ha!" they said as they went on their way and paid no more attention to the Great Spirit. Only a few hurried to the bog as Chimantou suggested.
Before long, when the sun was high, the day suddenly grew brighter. The People all looked up in panic and someone shouted, "Look! A second sun is in the sky!" The new star was growing larger, brighter, and hotter as it hurtled toward them. It became so bright that they had to shield their eyes.
The People who had not covered themselves with mud ran for shelter in terror, but it was too late. The star flew down to Earth and blanketed the world with its long, flowing, glowing tail. Tall trees burst into flame like giant torches, lake and rivers began to boil, and even the rocks glowed and shattered from the heat, as terrible fire swallowed up the entire world.
Then suddenly, when the heat was the greatest and the People in the bog thought even they would surely die, the star climbed back up and moved away from Earth.
After the world cooled down, the mud-covered People cautiously came out of the bog to look around. Stunned, they saw that the world had changed completely. In all directions, all that remained were smoldering, blackened trees and scorched grasslands. The People who had not listened to Chimantou had perished, along with all the giant animals. Only their skeletons remained.
The People were afraid and did not know what to do, until Chimantou came to them and said, "Put aside your fear. The star is gone for now. Go out and multiply, for this new world is yours. But if I come to warn you another time, do not forget to listen, because Long-Tailed-HeavenlyClimbing-Star will surely come back again to destroy the world."

OBSERVING THE EFFECTS OF THE BINARY SOLAR SYSTEM
Rain Raven who is a Tribal member of the Ojibwe states:
"Archeologists and historians often dismiss our 'origin' history as emerging from caves as merely myths. They assumed our ancestors were saying we originated from caves. But the truth is that our Ojibwe people and other Tribes hid in caves from the catastrophe of the Kachina stars close approach. In Ontario, First Nation people found an underground cave with water, trees and vegetation. They are keeping the location secret, but they know they will have to stay in this cave when the cosmic catastrophe returns."
