HEWITT] ONONDAGA VERSION 199 



is true that thou art iiuister of it. Thou hast tinishcd the eartli here 

 present. Thou should.st have pity on nie that I maj' be suflered to 

 live. 1 will aid thee, moreover. Verily, thou dost keep saying: 

 ' Man -beings are about to dwell here on the earth here present. ' In this 

 matter, moreover, will it contiiuie to be that 1 shall aid and a.ssist 

 thee. Moreover, I will aid the man-beings. Seeing that ni}' body is 

 full of orenda and even otgon, as a matter of fact, by and by the man- 

 beings will be affected with m\-sterious ills. Moreover, it will be 

 possible for them to recover if they will make an imitation of the 

 form of my body. I, who was the first to travel over the earth here 

 present, infected it with my orenda. And, verily, it will magically 

 conform itself to [be marked by] the lineaments of my body. More- 

 over, this will come to pass. If it so be that a man-being becomes 

 ill by the contagion of this magic power, it is here that I will 

 aid thee. And the man-beings will then live in contentment. And,
