According to the Abenaki (a Native American tribe from New England and southern Quebec) there once was a man who created himself. His name was Oodzee-hodo. Unfortunately for him, humans did not yet have legs, so Oodzee-hodo had to drag himself around by his arms. Just by trying to get around, he created the mountains, the valleys, the rivers, and the sacred Lake Champlain from his body scrapping the ground.
Eventually, apparently tired of having no legs, Oodzee-hodo turned himself into a stone in the middle of the lake, and is said to inhabit Rock Dunder (west of Burlington, Vermont).
