occur to him, he wanted to be something else. ‘They told Little-Dog 
to remain at home, and that in the next generation he (Little-Dog) 
would still exist among people as he was when living with them. So 
they got a gourd full of water, poured it into the fire, and went up

33. THE STORY OF NOT-KNOW-WHO-YOU-ARE.* 
Once upon a time there was a large village, and in this village 
there lived a man by the name of Not-know-who-you-are (Kakiaasa- 
dad). The people in this village were very fond of sending out war- 
parties. Their occupation was to go out on the war-path at all times. 
When these people would come ‘home from the war-path they would 
bring home many scalps and captives. At night the celebration would 
begin, there being victory and scalp dances. Once upon a time, when the 
dances had begun and it was about midnight, Not-know-who-you-are, 
instead of hearing the noise of dancing, heard crying. He wondered 
what had happened to the people. The next time they went out on the 
war-path, after they had been out a long time, they came back victori- 
ous, with many scalps and captives. They were to have their fun in 
dancing scalp dances and victory dances, but at about midnight, Not- 
know-who-you-are instead of hearing the noise of dancing, heard cry- 
ing. He wondered what could be the matter. He learned that after 
having gone to dancing somebody was carried off by some kind of 
an animal. He wondered what it could be that was carrying off the 
people. He thought to himself: ‘Well, I have great powers, and 
perhaps if I send out a war-party, when I come home and get up a 
dance and watch pretty close, I can kill the animal.” 
On the next day, Not-know-who-you-are got up a war-party and 
went out on the war-path. They killed many people and took many 
scalps. When they got home they had dances, because he was in the 
crowd when they came home from the war-path. While he danced he 
kept watching for the strange being, but could see nothing. All at 
once he heard the people crying again, saying that somebody was 
carried off. He did not understand about this. He thought to him- 
self: “He has tricked me as he has other leaders, but by moving to 
another village I can do better.”’ He got together his parents (he was 
a single man) and his sister, and they moved into another village. The
