    How boring...to approach it from a technical, scientific perspective.

    I can't imagine channelluv because of different First Nations (as Canadian term for "native Indian) group differences, there might be slightly different stories on what caused each of the 4 seasons to change.

    This is not written in story, legend or myth style. It is from the Canadian Encyclopedia (well known in the library world) that summarizes some common beliefs which touches only a little bit on what causes changes for each of the 4 seasons.

    Looks like more on how Earth, Humankind was created, is the stronger focus.

    Probably in ancient Chinese belief system, there is also a myth/legend but I don't know what it is without searching around for info. (There is for the creation of the Milky Way, certain constellations...)

    I'm sure Hawai'i has a legend...though changes to 4 seasons would be quite different there....

    Unfortunately my parents weren't into telling us fairytales, myths and legends.

    Even for European stuff, I went to the library and read on my own as a kid.
