Answer:

The Choctaw people believed that two hunters help an hungry woman standing on a mound by giving her a measly hawk which was their day's catch. The woman repaid their kindness by disappearing into a corn on the mound and thereby blessing them.

The Mayan people believed that humans were created from maize, after two unsuccessful attempts to create humans out of mud or wood.
