When a person was in danger of drowning, canoes would come to him (or her) and the people in them would say, "I am your friend," and take the person home. After that he became like them, but was called a land-otter man. One woman thus captured saw a number of round objects by the fire which she was told not to touch, but she jumped on one and it burst. They were the land-otters' scent bags. Then she was thrown outside and became a woman once more. In...
Stran 303 - See the destructive lightning Going to kill the distant tree. It is going, my younger brother, To split the distant tree. Around the mountain I carry My poor younger brother; Carry him around the mountain And then I stand before it. The lightning like reddish snakes Tries to lash and shiver the trees.

Stran 260 - With our nynnyirsa we went down, Wearing Yoku feathers in our headdresses. This is the White Land, we arrive singing, Headdresses waving in the breeze. We have come ! We have come ! The land trembles with our dancing and singing.
Stran 162 - Two of the swiftest runners among the women acted as leaders and chose alternately from the players until all were selected in two groups. Two goals were fixed about 400 yards apart, one side saying, "To the trail is where we can beat you," while the other party declared, "To that mesquite is where we can beat you.
Stran 51 - Gila Crossing. A man at Rso'tuk was killed by the accidental discharge of a revolver in the hands of a companion. Blackwater. An unusually heavy rain occurred during the winter, which gullied the hills deeply. The Apaches were making tizwin when the soldiers and Pima scouts attacked them; they took the alarm and escaped, leaving the liquor in the hands of the allies.
Stran 139 - on the ground under the shade of one of the cotton sheds. Her left leg was tucked under her seat and her foot turned sole upwards; between her big toe and the next, was a spindle about 18 inches long, with a single fly of four or six inches.
Stran 186 - In the beginning there was nothing where now are earth, sun, moon, stars, and all that we see. Ages long the darkness was gathering, until it formed a great mass in which developed the spirit of Earth Doctor, who, like the fluffy wisp of cotton that floats upon the wind, drifted to and fro without support or place to fix himself. Conscious of his power, he determined to try to build an abiding place, so he took from his breast a little dust and flattened it into a cake. Then he thought within himself,...
