After Spider had nearly created the earth , Ha-arts , he thought it would be well to have rain to water it , so he created the Cloud People , the Lightning People , the Thunder People , and the Rainbow People , to work for the people of Ha-arts , the earth . Already , attempts to anchor the plane with bags and ropes had nearly failed , causing one diver to drop his gear and scramble for the surface to avoid underwater entanglement . At the turn of the century , market and commercial hunting had nearly driven Canada geese to extinction .
