524 IROQUOIAN COSMOLOGY [eth. ann. 43 



Now at that time De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, "Even so it shall 

 come to pass. So, in what place lies that which thou sayest thou hast 

 completed?" Then at that time they two started. Just as soon as 

 they arrived at the edge of the water then O'ha'a' said, "Behold, 

 verily, there he lies who is not yet alive. And the reason that it lies 

 beside the water is because I made it out of the water. I desired that 

 it should be plainly evident that the two things from which we made 

 them should be different." 



Now at that time De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, "In only one thing 

 will I aid thee in causing that to come to life. If it so be that thou 

 desire still to make another one thou wilt be able to do that. Only 

 that thou shalt take from some place on his body that thou shalt 

 mi.x them. Then thou wilt be able to cause it to come to life." 



Then at that time De'hae°'hiyawa"kho°' said, "So that perhaps 

 will be possible that I will add to it so that he shall have that which 

 causes me to make bodily movements." Now at that time De'hae"- 

 'hiyawa"kho'" took a portion of his life and he placed it in his body; 

 also he took a portion of his mind and he placed it in his head; also 

 he took a portion of his blood and he placed it in his flesh; also his 

 power to see, also his power to talk, of both of which he took portions 

 and placed them in his head; now at that time he placed his breath 

 in his body, now also he came to life; and now also he said, "Do 

 thou stand up." At that time he stood up. At that time De'hae"- 

 'hiyawa"kho°' said, "Now verily I have fulfilled in doing so the 

 thing which thou asked me to do to aid thee. So what thing will 

 come to pass at some future day that close at hand all this which I 

 have given up in all my movements shall become hostile to me?" 

 Now at that time O'ha'a' answered and said, "Let us two do thus 

 in this thing in which thou and I took part in causing to come to 

 life, that thou and I shall have an equal control over it; in that way 

 perhaps it will result in good that thou thyself shall have something 

 to say concerning the human beings who will dwell here." 



Then De'hae'"hiyawa"kho°' spoke and said, "Let that also come 

 to pass. I agree to your idea." Now at that time O'ha'a' replied 

 and said, "Verily thou and I made no mistake in the bodily form of 

 the two which thou and I completed. It is evident, verily, that the 

 bodies of the two persons whom thou hast formed are alike; it is 

 just as evident, too, that he whom I have made has a like body. So 

 what kind of thing shall thou and I do? So what kind of thing 

 shall we continue to call him?" 



Then De'hae°'hiyawa"kho'" said, "That person also is one whom 

 I myself have completed, and verily he was the first person to become 

 alive on the earth present here. So we shall continue to call him 

 the human being." (A modern expansion here says: "So we shall 

 continue to call that one a real (native) human being, whose body
