wave four corners of cloth, Huruing Wuhti singing, four times, and things 

 begin to move and emit sounds as birds do. On removal of cover birds fly out 

 into air, but return. Huruing Wuhti gives them to Sun, who places them in 

 jar of transparent stone. Sun places different kinds of hair on floor with 

 small quantity of his paints. He lets his beard drop upon objects and shakes 

 wings towards them. They cover things up, each holding two corners of 

 covering, and Sun sings song. Antelope and other animals jump up and run 

 around. Sun tells Huruing Wuhti they are hers, and they afterwards consider 

 her as their mother. Sun returns under earth to east and makes land by 

 turning over land of Huruing Wuhti which is under water. He sees beings 

 come out of water whom he calls White People, Spaniards and Mormons. He 

 pours birds out of jar and they fly around in air and increase. Sun returns to 

 Huruing Wuhti 's house in west. She creates little maiden and little boy from 

 pieces of her cuticle. She sends them away to live on earth, and names youth 

 Muyingwa and maiden Yahoya. With scale matter from her umbilicus 

 Huruing Wuhti makes another maiden. She calls her Sand Clan Member and 

 Lizard Clan Member, and sends her after other two, giving her grain of shelled 

 corn. Huruing Wuhti now rubs her face and inside of nose, and from scales 

 makes child that cries like Hopi child would cry, and another that cries like 

 coyote. She says maiden shall be Burrowing Owl Clan Member and youth 

 Coyote Clan Member. She gives them each grain of shelled com and tells 

 them to follow others. Again Huruing Wuhti creates as before, and they hear 

 somebody grunt and another one angry. The former is child like Hopi, and 

 she names it Bear Clan Member. She gives him grain of corn and sends him on. 

 The other, Head-with-the-Hair-Pushed-over-it-Backward, is Navaho. She gives 

 him piece of spoiled meat and sends him on. Sun returns to east, and next day he 

 sees smoke arising at different places and people camping. He sees maiden 

 and youth traveling along very tirpd. He gives them water to drink and 

 little corn for food. He calls youth Sun Clan Member and maiden Forehead 

 Clan Member and tells them to travel eastward. 



3. — Coming of the Hopi from the Under-World. 



When people were living below they became quarrelsome, and some \'ery 

 depraved. Chiefs decide to find another place to live. They send bird Motsni 

 to find place of exit. He is unsuccessful. They then send Mocking-bird, 

 who finds place of exit. In meanwhile chiefs cause great flood. Many Bdlo- 

 lookong-wuus come with water and many people are destroyed. On return of 

 Mocking-bird chiefs announce they will leave in four days. They then plant 

 pine-tree and make it grow fast by singing. It grows to opening, but it is not 

 strong enough for many people to climb on. They plant a stronger kind of 

 pine. This does not reach opening, and they plant reed, which is strong and 

 grows through the opening. They also plant sun-flower, but its disk protrudes 

 downward before it reaches opening. Spider Woman, Pookonghoya, his 

 brother Baloongawhoya, and Mocking-bird climb pine through opening, and 

 then Pookonghoya holds firmly to pine and his brother to reed. Mocking-bird 

 sits singing songs still chanted at Wdwnchim ceremony. People begin to 

 climb, and as they emerge, Mocking-bird assigns them places and gives 

 them languages. Language spoken in under-world that of Pueblo Indians. 

 Songs of Mocking-bird are exhausted before ali people come out, and others 

 begin to return. Kik-wongi from below is with people around opening. His
