Dr A. L. Kroeber* in his Cheyenne Tales gives the following 
account : 
There was a large camp near a spring called Old-woman’s spring. The 
people were amusing themselves by games, and were playing the “ buffalo 
game” with rolling hoops. Two young men were standing by, watching. They 
were painted alike and dressed alike and wore the same headdresses, and both 
wore buffalo-robes. Finally one of them told the people to call every one and 
that all should watch him; that he would go into the spring, and bring back 
food that would be a great help to the people ever after. The other young man 
also said that he would bring them food. There was an entrance to the spring, 
formed by a great stone, and by this the two young men descended into the 
spring, both going at the same time. They found an old gray-headed woman 
sitting, and she showed them on one side fields of corn, and on the other herds 
of buffalo. Then one of the young men brought back corn, and the other buffalo 
meat, and the people feasted on both. And that night the buffalo came out of 
the spring; and there have been herds of them ever since, and corn has been 
grown too.
