deer. Then the young deer said, "Yes, I shall do as you wish. I 

 shall go with them to give our people good luck. I shall go with the 

 mLxed dance." 



So they brought in the young deer, and when they were ready to 

 go Coyote said to Hehe'a, "Do not leave me here. I am a hunter. 

 "When your people in Itiwana hunt I give them good luck. I taught 

 them how to hunt and I should go with you to give them good 

 luck in hunting." Then Hehe'a said, "I shall ask our father, the 

 chief, first before you come. You may not go in to Itiwana unless 

 he wishes it." "Go and ask him. I \sall teach the hunters so that 

 they wdll always know how to treat the deer." Then Hehe'a went in 

 again and said to Pautiwa, "There is a coyote outside. Is there 

 any way for him to go to Itiwana to dance with us? He says he 

 wants to go with us when we bring this young deer in. He says 

 he wants to go in with us to bring good luck to our Itiwana people. 

 He says he wants to go in to teach the Itiwana people the right way 

 so that they may always have good luck in hunting." Then Pautiwa 

 said, "Yes, I think it will be all right for him to go with j'ou if he is 

 not bad. He shall go just as he said, to give the people good luck in 

 hunting." So they brought him in to Pautiwa. He was yellowish 

 and he looked funny among all the pretty dancers. So they presented 

 him to the sLx directions and made him sit dowTi. The young deer 

 was afraid of him because he was going to kill the deer when they 

 came to Itiwana. The Pautiwa said, "Now my child, my young 

 deer, coyote is going along to Itiwana to give our people good luck 

 in hunting. You must be killed sometime, but you wUl not really 

 die. We too used to Uve in Itiwana, but now we do not live there 

 any more. Like us you will not really die, but you mil come to life 

 again. So do not be afraid. Now you are going to Itiwana and 

 coyote is going too, but do not be afraid of liim. He will just pretend 

 to chase you and kill you and you will just pretend to die. Then 

 whoever in Itiwana wants to be a good hunter will come and get you 

 and carry you into his house and sprinlde your head with water and 

 with com meal and pray that he may have good luck in hunting. 

 And that is the way they will always do when they hunt deer in the 

 mountains. Coyote will just pretend to kill you and you will pre- 

 tend to die and you will lie down in the plaza and this man will come 

 and get you and take you home with him. That is the way the deer 

 will be killed." He talked to the young deer lilie this and the young 

 deer said, "Very well."
