When the wild geese wing southward and the years' leaves drift in layers upon the earth, the badger peers from its cozy den. At the bottom of the burrow glows the kiva made of rainbows—the sky of the Fourth World. This image refers to the Navajo creation story in which Coyote Steals the Water Monster's baby. The Water Monster sends a great flood that threatens to engulf the entire Fourth World. The Air Spirit People desperately try to escape, and the Badger digs them a burrow to safety in this Fifth World.
