Just after this again other animals severally ran by. There were 

 many raccoons and they passed by. Just after then again other 

 animals ran by; there were many buffalo and they passed by. Just 

 after they had passed then again other animals came running toward 

 them, and these were many bear, and they passed by. 



Just then again other animals came running toward them, and 

 they were many elk and they passed by. Just after then again 

 other animals came running toward them, and these were many por- 

 cupines and they passed by. Then they two looked and saw many 

 animals flying about and there was a great noise made by their 

 flying and their talldng. 



Then at that time the Old Woman said, "Extremely wonderfid is 

 what has come to pass. Now verily it has been accomplished now 

 that those beings whose bodies De'hae°'hiyawa"kho'" formed have 

 multiplied their kinds." 



Now at that time O'ha'a' said, "I will go to the place where stiinds 

 the lodge of my brother. I will speak directly, and I will ask him
