97. THE FOUR BROTHERS" 



Another beini>' that hated us was a shaman, who used to live in a 

 cave. His name was Gone'tqasfi'xdukla'ijl. They could do nothing 

 to him, so they gave their sister to him in marriage. He always slept 

 with his l)ack to the tire, and a spirit watched at his door. Finally a 

 plot was made regarding him, and the people prepared for him. 

 They prepared boxes full of bows and arrows for him, and there came 

 to be plenty of them. When they came to him they pulled their sis- 

 ter into the canoe. He (the shaman) al\va3's wore a red-snapper coat. 

 When he was pursuing them, he kept jumping so (accompanied by 

 gesture). While he was chasing them they shot at him. They kept 

 asking their sister, ""Where is your husband's heart?"' She said, 

 " I still love my husband's heart." After a time she told them where 

 her husband's heart was. "Shoot him in the middle of his hand.
