of the river of Hanwad, and their village site has the name Tsele- 
xwas. | Q!égéd was a grizzly-bear hunter. He was not a chief, but 
a | common man, for this is nota myth. It is a tale belonging to the 
time || when the white men came and built a house at Fort Rupert. 
Therefore | Q!égéd hunted with a gun. Q!egéd's wife was a | proud 
woman. Her name was Ts!elwaél. Therefore her name was 
Ts !ehwaél, | because she always talked proudly, and scolded | her 
husband, Q!égéd, as is the way of common women, because || nothing 
is good for them except their pride. Now Qi!eged | paid no atten- 
tion to his wife when she was angry with him. One | day Ts !elwaét 
used really bad words against her husband, | and therefore Q!egéd 
struck his wife; and | after he had struck her, he took his gun and || 
went out of the house to walk by the river of Hinwad. | Then Q!égéd 
evidently saw a grizzly bear, for | this is only guessed by the tribe
