LITTLE-CROW, WHO BECAME A SPARROW-HAWK. 243 
instead of going on top of the ground he went under the ground, so he 
could not be seen by the Geese who spied for the red-haired people. 
When the Mole had entered the village of the red-haired people he looked 
around and located all the people. He turned back to his home to 
notify the Turtle what he had seen and how he had located all of the red- 
haired people. Then both turned back to the red-haired people’s ‘homes. 
They went by the same way the Mole had gone, under the ground, the 
Mole in the lead. They arrived at night. They waited until all had 
gone to bed. When every one had gone to bed the Mole spied around to 
locate some chief who had red hair, and after he had found one he 
turned back to get the Turtle. Now they went back to the place where 
he had found the red-haired chief. Both went direct to the red-haired 
chief, and the Turtle cut off this head. Now they started back, under- 
ground. They traveled all that night, back to the Mole’s place, and 
when they arrived it was daylight. On the next day the Turtle was per- 
mitted to go back to ‘his home and show his red-haired scalp, which ‘he 
had got where everybody else had failed. . 
‘When he got to his village, instead of going to his home he went to 
the chief’s home. He showed the scalp to the chief. He told the chief 
that the scalp was for him; that he had got it when everybody else had 
failed. The chief told the Turtle he might live there with him ever 
after, and have his daughter for his wife. The news spread in the 
village from one place to another about the Turtle bringing the scalp 
that all else had failed to get. When the Turtle was living with the 
chief’s family there were great crowds of men who came around the 
place at night and sat up part of the night passing the time by telling 
stories. On one occasion the Turtle was asked how he got to the red- 
haired people’s place without being seen. He told how it came about 
and the people were surprised when they heard. The Turtle lived with 
the chief’s daughter thereafter.

There was once a village where lived four brothers and their 
mother. The brothers were not chiefs, but were prominent men, noted 
as warriors. There was a chief who had the control of this village. In 
these times the chief’s home could be distinguished by the signs the 
chiefs had in front of their lodges—a tanned buffalo hide erected in 
front of the lodge, which was the emblem of a chief’s lodge. Little-
