south. I shall go there and look around for a place to stay and go 

 to visit the people of Katcina Village. 



Now at that time Turquoise man used to stay at a spring a little to 

 the north of the salt lake. In the night she went to Turquoise man 

 and said, "I am going to the south. I do not want my people to 

 treat me the way they do. It hurts my feeUngs. I am going to rim 

 away to the south so that they will have a hard time to find me and 

 will come to me with much labor. Then they will always love me 

 more than anything else. I have made my plans. I am going to 

 the south," she told him. Then Turquoise man said, "May I go 

 with you?" "Yes, you may come with me. Which waj' had you 

 decided to go?" "To the east," he said. "Let us both rim away. 

 They will surely be sorry. Let them come to-morrow for the last 

 time, and then when night comes let us go." 



So the next night they got ready, and they started in the morn- 

 ing before daybreak, in the early dawn. Turquoise man came and Salt 

 woman joined hina, and they went on together. They passed the 

 narrow place southeast of the lake, the place called "Where the chfl's 

 come together." As she went by she said, "I think I shall leave my 

 feather here." So she took the downy feather from her hair and 

 planted it there, and ever since then this place has been called 

 "Where the downy feather stands " (uhkahaianim-e). She left the 

 feather there and said, "Now they will find my feather here, and they 

 will never forget my name." So they went on to the south, and 

 wherever they passed the trees died and fell down as though they had 

 been pulled up by the roots. They left an open trail about as wide as 

 the bridge across the river. Then they turned and went a Uttle to 

 the east. Finally they came to where Salt woman now lives. Then 

 Turquoise man asked her, "Now we have passed many places. Now 

 let me Icnow wliich place you like best." Where they had stopped 

 there was a spring and trees aU around. So she thought that would 

 be a good place for her to stay, because there were mountains on all 

 sides. She looked to the west and she saw clouds hanging, and she 

 could feel the wind from Katcina Village. So she thought she would 

 stay there. "This is the place where I shall stay," she said. "I 

 am close to my people at Katcina Village. Now you shall think where 

 you want to stay," she said to Turcjuoise man. Then he said, "I 

 shall turn and go to the east, that is where I am going." So he 

 turned and went to the east and he came to Santo Domingo (Welu- 

 wala), and that is where Turquoise man stays now. 



Now Salt woman stayed there for four days, and all the time she 

 could hear the dancing going on at Katcina Village. She heard it 

 like whispering in the lake. Then she said to herself, "Now I have 

 stayed here a long time." It was really four years, and she thought 

 it was long enough. "Now to-morrow I shall go and visit my people
