I have been asked about a spider woman story where a hummingbird becommes the moon. I have many resources for spider woman/grandmother stories, but this one is a puzzler. Ring a bell with anyone?

1) Thought I'd poke around on the net a little (and take a break from cleaning out cupboards!). I didn't find that exact story, but here are some links to other hummingbird stories. This little bird has a lot of stories attached to it.
