Myth . — Nahalico Uved at the Sacred Lake. He was a real NahaUco. 

 When everj^one was asleep he would go out to hunt. He went to the 

 south where manj- tall trees w ere glowing and where there were many 

 turkej^s. He hunted tm-keys there, but he never brought them in 

 when he came back. He just left them in the lake and came in vrith- 

 out them. He never even brought their feathers. He just killed the 

 birds to have a good tmie, and never considered that tm'keys are 

 valuable. He did that for three nights and no one at the Sacred 

 Lake knew about it. But the fourth night he came in very late. 

 Just before dawn when they felt the wind from the east he came in. 

 Ya'ana saw him come in. He left his turkeys out in the lake and 

 sneaked in as if he had been doing something wrong. Ya'ana saw 

 him come in. \ATien everyone got up NahaUco got up too. He did 

 not feel tired or sleep}-. Later in the morning Ya'ana said, "Where 

 have you been? I saw you come in last night." None of the kat- 

 cinas would beUeve that he had been up all night. He was afraid he 

 had been doing something wrong and that was why he had hidden 

 his turkeys and not brought them in.
