In Abenaki mythology after Tabaldak created humans, the dust from his hand created Gluskab and sometimes he also created Gluskab's twin brother, Malsumis. He gave Gluskap the power to create a good world. Malsumis, on the other hand, did the opposite, and still seeks evil to this day. The Abenaki (also Wabanaki) are a Native American tribe located in the northeastern United States. ... After Tabaldak created humans, the dust from his hand created Gluskab and sometimes he also created Gluskabs twin brother, Malsumis. ...
Tabaldak, the creator god, made humans and then Gluskab (several variants of whom were associated with different branches of the Abenaki, including Glooscap, Glooskap, Gluskabe Klooskomba and Nanabozho) and Malsumis sprang from the dust on his hand.
Gluskab and Malsumis both had the power to create a good world, but only Gluskab did so.
Gluskab founded the Golden Age of the Earth by rendering the evil spirits of the Ancient Age smaller and safer, as well as teaching humanity how to hunt and fish, build shelter and all of the Abenaki's knowledge of art, invention and science.
