his village, where the people are clamoring for food. Chief is invited to his lodge; is 
told how they may obtain buffalo. Ceremonies are performed. Buffalo come, first 
one being sacred and treated in accordance with Moon’s instructions. After people 
have been fed, they construct earth-lodges. Buffalo in meantime having entirely 
left their cave, young man places feathered stick in ground four times. He 
returns to cave, where men give him seeds, which he gives to his people. On 
returning to cave he finds that spring has become dry and caye has disappeared. 
The people become dissatisfied and divide up into different bands, which disperse. 
4. THE FOUR GODS OF THE NORTH. 
Tirawa instructs man facing north to point toward the north, his two thumbs 
being placed together. Upon them are imprints of two faces. On repeating this 
performance two additional faces appear, which represent the four gods of the north, 
who sent Kingfisher upon earth, who divided land from water, and being touched 
by the man becomes woman. Man holds ceremony in honor of four gods and 
transmits ceremony to his descendants. 
5. LONG-TONGUE, THE ROLLING HEAD. 
Four girls gathering wood make snow snakes, which they glide overice. They 
are attracted toward north by strange odor. In their search for source of odor, 
three give up; fourth continues to cedar-covered hill, where she finds rock-lodge. 
Being invited, she enters lodge with young man, who claims that lodge is place of 
origin of scent. Inside, girl finds that lodge has no opening except small smoke hole. 
Young man lays down on buffalo robe and becomes old man. In lodge is sacred 
bundle and five rattles. In morning man, now young again, speaks, stone door 
moves, and he leaves lodge. Boy speaks to girl, telling her occupant of lodge is 
Long-Tongue, a fierce rolling skull. She is instructed how to make her escape. 
Her informant is Raven. As Long-Tongue enters lodge he becomes old man. 
Following day girl asks permission to leave lodge. Outside she picks handful of 
berries and is soon left alone by Long-Tongue. Again Raven addresses her. On

away and returns to lodge. Soon Long-Tongue becomes alive and again leaves 
lodge. At girl’s request Long-Tongue brings in buffalo, which girl skins and takes 
care of meat. Next she makes tallow. Raven removes from sacred bundle arrow 
planes and flint knife. Girl makes three tallow balls. She digs hole in ground and 
fills it with tallow, and covers earth in center of lodge with tallow, smearing some 
also on side of walls and on bundle. Girl gets on Raven’s back, carrying bundle 
of objects. They leave lodge, and when Raven grows tired he places girl on ground 
and flies overhead, directing her. They gotowardeast. Long-Tongue on return-

girl had placed in lodge, thus losing much time. He returns after girl, and his 
pursuit is checked as she drops on ground arrow planes, which multiply and Long- 
Tongue attempts to gather them up. Again he begins pursuit, but stops as she 
strikes him with tallow ball, fragments of which he gathers and eats. She throws 
second and third tallow balls, checking his pursuit. She then stops him with her
