1" The places at which they stopped, after leaving Koluwala'wa in their wanderings in search of the 

 center of the world. There are 29; two, E^pkwenakwi (water coming out, Ojo CaL'ente) and watsita'ntiJiwi 

 (dog place), are omitted from the present version. They follow Rainbow Spring. The emergence myth 

 (and Sayataca's talk) give the last three springs as towa yallakwi (Corn Mountain), matsakya hepatina, 

 fiolin^aiakwi etsakya hepatina (sulphur spring, commonly called hepatina). The present account gives 

 the three places where the impersonators deposit plumes on their way in; White rocks; Where the masked 

 dancers come out (Grease UiU); Hepatina. 



" Gushing translates this " The middle ant hill of the world." It is a bracketing of two names by which 

 ZuSi is known. Ualonawa in a more restricted sense refers to the ruin on the south bank of the river.
