birds hid the ball. Spider came down. Over all the sticks she spun 

 her web. She fastened the ball with her web. Now the animals 

 came one by one. Whenever they touched a stick, she pulled (the 

 ball) away. Each time they paid ten straws. The sun rose. After 

 sunrise, he was sitting high in the sky. Then the two canie. They 

 said, "Now, all my children, you have won your sun father's day- 

 light, and you, beasts, have lost your sun father's daylight. All 

 day you will sleep. After sunset, at night, you will go about hunting. 

 But you, owl, you have not stayed among the winged creatures. 

 Therefore you have lost your sun father's daylight. You have made 

 a mistake. If by daylight, you go about hunting, the one who has 

 his home above will find you out. He ^vill come do\vn on you. He 

 will scrape off the dirt from his earth mother and put it upon you. 

 Then thinking, 'Let it be here,' you will come to the end of your life. 

 This land of creature you shall be." Thus they said. They stayed 

 there overnight. The animals aU scattered. 



The two went. They came to where Ea-eto-we were staying. 

 Then they arose. Gathering together all their sacred possessions, 

 they arose. Le-eto-we said, "Now, my younger brothers, hither to 

 the north I shall take my road. Whenever I think that Itiwana has 

 been revealed to you, then I shall come to you." Thus he said, and 

 went to the north. Now some woman, seeing them, said, "Oh 

 dear! Whither are these going?" Thus she said: 



Naiye heni aiye 

 Naiye heni aiye.

 they came back to Hanhpiqka. Next day they went again. In 

 heavy rain they fought together. In the evening they went back 

 again. Next morning they went again for the third time. Again 

 they fought together. The giant went back and forth in front. 

 Even though she had arrows sticking in her body she did not die. At 

 sunset they went back again. Next morning they went. They 

 came there, and they fought together. StiU they would not surren- 

 der. The giant went back and forth in front. Although she was 

 wounded with arrows, she would not surrender. Ahaiyute said, 

 "iUas, why is it that these people will not let us pass? Wherever 

 may her heart be, that one that goes back and forth? Where her 

 heart should be we have struck her, yet she does not surrender. It 

 seems we can not overcome her. So finally go up to M'here your 

 father stays. Without doubt he Imows." Thus he said. His 

 younger brother cUmbed up to where the sun was.
