Leokina Qhocha

This text constitutes the myth of the origin of the precolumbian nation Cañari of Ecuador. The title means: "Lake Leokina". It narrates the following events:

A giant snake was born of Lake Leokina. In turn, this snake gave birth to the human race. Then she taught them civilization. After a time, some bad men and women made the snake angry, who reacted by attacking all human beings. The men and women sought help from Lake Leokina. The Lake tied up the snake with its rivers and buried it at the bottom of the lake. And so mankind could enjoy peace and fraternity again. This myth explains the ancient custom of making offerings to lakes.

Una serpiente gigante nació del lago Leoquina. A su vez esta serpiente procreó a los seres humanos. Luego ella les enseñó la civilización. Después de un tiempo, unos hombres malos enfadaron a la serpiente, quien reactionó con atacarles a todos los seres humanos. Los seres humanos recurrieron al lago Leoquina por ayuda contra su madre la serpiente. El Lago le ató a la serpiente con sus ríos y la enterró en el fondo del lago.
