The comanche figures of wolf (the idealist who creates perfect things) and coyote (the one who soils creation) would have been very good for this. I find their schema very useful, it's like "first, things were perfect, then something messed it up". I guess many of us, especially here, are born with this intuitive sense that the world was supposed to be a reasonable place designed by reasonable people, and so we need to be told, "No, that's a reasonable thing to hope for, darling, but something happened. Things got messed up. You'll have to adjust."

For some tribes, the First People include a noble, heroic figure, such as the Wolf among the Comanche, who foresees the coming of humanity and plans a perfect, ideal world for them—until his brother coyote enters the scene as marplot (Bright 1993, 20)

In these cultures, Coyote is often described as the trickster figure.

“Wolf was wholly beneficent; his acts of original creation made all things perfect and
good. Coyote, the mischievous Till Eulenspiegel of Shoshonean folklore, was the spoiler of all
things, however. His was the role of the transformer who undid the good works of his big
brother. He brought hardship, travail and effort into the lives of men. He represented the force of
Evil as we [Euro-Americans] see it—and yet the Shoshones in no way thought of him and his
relationship with Wolf as a conflict of good and evil. Coyote was not bad, he was no more than
wantonly mischievous” (Wallace and Hoebel 1948, 193–94).

Somewhere I've got a draft of a story about how wolf made the world to be a perfect reflection of wolf's will alone, and so wolf was free of any obligations to anyone, but then all of that got screwed up when a second being (coyote) came into existence and started doing its own thing and spreading around. Since then, everyone has had to live under the curse of Other People, and all of the rules and borders and negative externalities that come with that. But of course, if wolf had gotten their way, you and I wouldn't exist.

In this sense, it was coyote who made humans.
