it has been announced to this time. I have chosen to tell the sacred story 
of how the first man was created, the Indian. Because I have thought 
that doubtless this is what is desired, that doubtless people wish to know 
of the life of the Indian, that is why I tell this sacred story. 
When twice a hundred years had gone by, at that time, this first 
man was killed by a bear, and so he died. Then, we are told, he was 
assigned by the Spirit to care for the souls of the dead of us who are Indians. 
I question if it is still so; I cannot say. For too greatly are we destro 3 dng 
ourselves. The Indian was forbidden to practise the Christian religion; 
that is what I mean. 
“I say this only to him who is called Indian: thou shalt not worship 
in Christian wise! Not to thee do I give this. I give my Son to the white 
man, that he may suffer for having slain my Son,” said the Lord. 
So much for this discourse.
