Audrey Wood teams up with artist Robert Florczak to retell this Chumash legend. The island of Limuw is where the earth goddess Hutash planted a plant that soon bore beautiful people instead of flowers. These people formed the Chumash tribe. The tribe was soon overpopulating the island, so Hutash intervened and asked many of the people to cross over the water to another part of land. The way to get across was a giant rainbow across the sky. Some of the Chumash people fell off the bridge and into the water. Hutash saved their lives by turning them into dolphins so they could continue living in the water.
