THE DELUGE’ ANDi REPEOPLING THE EARTH. 297 
When the Wind first got the child, on the fourth visit, there was 
the child, and no woman, so he called the woman the Earth, the mother 
of the first woman born after the deluge, and this is why we call the 
Earth “mother.” The girl grew pretty rapidly, and her name was 
Dream-Girl (Aitskasawnats). As time passed, she became old enough 
to marry; and in the place where she was raised there was a man who 
became her husband, and after a time there was a child born to them 
who was a boy. The boy grew, and after a while he went off from the 
place where they were living, and, of course, being the first boy born, 
he had wonderful powers to create other things that were now on the 
face of the earth. He went around every day doing all of this, and he 
commanded things to exist. At one time, on his return, he brought 
back with him four sticks, that his father might make arrows, and he 
brought another stick for a bow for his own use. Now, the boy told 
his father and mother to move out of the place that they were living 
in; so the woman went out and fixed up another place to live in, and 
the boy still continued his work every day. He told his father and 
mother not to do him wrong until he had completed all things that he 
wanted to do. In going out every day he would always have something 
with him. Once, on his return, his father and mother noticed that he 
had a pipe, and that he had a big bundle, in which he carried every- 
thing for his own use. He now came to be a young man, and he still 
told his father and mother not to do him wrong until he had finished 
all the things he wanted to do. Once upon a time, on his return, before 
reaching home, he spoke to his father and mother, saying: “You have 
done me wrong; so that you both have caused my work to cease, and 
I will not come to live with you.” ‘He told his people that he would 
go in the direction of the east, and he was to become the Morning-Star 
(Harseiryarsenarar. ) | 
After Morning-Star thad left his father and mother, another child 
was born to them, which was a girl. Again time passed, and another 
child was born to them, which was a boy. Time passed and the two 
children grew up. They became husband and wife; and from this on, 
there came to be a great many people. The father of the Morning-Star 
in having a great many people, said to this wife that he would do like 
his son, and go off. This man’s name was Clearness-after-Rain (Iaka- 
dakiwitse). So he went on his way toward the northwest, becoming 
Clearness-after-Rain. Before leaving, he commanded the people that 
they should say after the rain that Never-stop-to-see-what-is-in-the- 
Way (Kidiahosaihiristas) was coming. The wife of this man never 
knew what became of him.
