The Deer Clan 

 introduction 



The first version of the origin myth of the Deer clan is in part like 

 that of version 6 of the Bear clan origin myth and in part like that of 

 version 1 of the Thuntlerbird origin myth. It is the only myth that 

 shares with version 1 of the Thunderbird origin myth the account of 

 the origin of death. 



The Deer clan does not seem to have had any important functions, 

 although in myth 1, it is stated that the}- claimed a '"partial" chief- 

 tainship, whatever that may mean. 



It was considered an insult to tell a member of this clan that he 

 resembled a deer. 



The facial painting is the same as that used for the Elk clan. 

 (PI. 46.) 



The Deer clan people tell one another not to sing their clan song 

 very loudly, and also not to make any sudden movement of theu- 

 limbs, for each movement might cause the death of a human being. 

 For the same reason they are told not to weep too loudly, as each 

 deer's limb is a sjTnbol of one of the fom- directions. When, there- 

 fore, a Deer clansman moves a limb too hard when he is weeping 

 over the decease of a member of his clan, he might be "putting some 

 human being in the earth," and the wind would blow hard. 



The dog names obtained were uankcigolioniga and jM^natcgisga.
