Frightened and he said to the sun
god: "Take me back. / know now that

So the two returned, the god of the
sun exacting a promise that he would
not tell his people too much of what
he had seen, lest they should grow
disconnected with their desert living
place and desire to go to the paradise
of the dead Then, to prevent the pos
sibility of anyone ever finding his way
down the great trail, the god turned
the mighty Colorado river into the
gorge. This is why the Indians keep
away from the great chasm. | do not
believe that any white man ever sue
ceeded in exploring its wonders.

charm and delight, and they believe the
time will come when their god will
come and lead them away from the
sandy desert region and the high
plateaus where few food plants grow,
into this fertile and fruitful land where
food abounds. They say he will come
at a certain time of the year, and they
point to two rocky peaks that are to
be seen from the Bright Angel trail,
and say that is the gateway through
which the gods are to come. So every
year at a certain time some of the
shamans, or medicine men, with the
elders, come and sit and watch this
gateway, hoping for the coming of the
gods. The younger Indians laugh at
this superstition, but, as I tell them, it
is far better to have religious hopes
than to believe there are no powers
higher, wiser, better than themselves.

This gateway [ have named cam
gel Gate" and all who see it should
know it's interesting story.
The Wallapais have a legend in
which great flood figures. All their
land was flooded and most of the
people drowned. One of their myth
ical heroes with a fearfully long
name which I now forget), fled to
the San Francisco mountains for ref
uge, and, when the flood began to
subside, the hero walked boldly into
the deep waters, taking with him a
large stone ak. Then, bidding the
waters 90, he smote several heavy
blows into the soft and muddy earth.
Each blow went deeper than it's pre-
decessor, and each step took him fur
Their away from the mountains. At
last he had hacked a great trench
into which the waters flowed and
soon flooded an outlet into the level
desert land where the Mohaves and
Chemehuevis live. Thus the waters
escaped and the land became dry
and habitable again.
The Havasupais believe the roaring
noise of the river is the voice of
Hachataia, the god of the raging
storm. They call the roaring of the
wind, Hachataia, and the canyon,
they also call Hachataia, because of
the noise which ever fills it's solemn
depths from the onward sweep of

cascades. I know of but one Hava-

say were. Most of them now are
longing to 90, and urge the owner
of the only ferry in the canyon (my
friend and Arizona partner, Mr.. w.
w. Bass), to take them over. This
change of heart comes from two
things. They see that Mr.. Bass and
others go over and return in safe
ty, laden with the good things of
the north side, and, more potent
still, Chick-a-pan-a-gie (the one In
dian we have taken Over). has told
them marvellous, but true, stories of
the vast NUMBERS OF deer and ante
lope that roam through the dense
forests on the other side. To prove
his words he has twice brought back
ierked venison enough to last his
family for whole winter, and such
evidence is exceedingly powerful to
an Indian, whose stomach is empty.
But as yet we have taken only the
one Indian over. The others MUST
wait awhile Trails are expensive
to build and keep in order, and In
dams, like many white people, are
willing to reap all the benefits of
other peoples labor without sharing
in the work.
The Hopis have an interesting
legend connecting Tiyo, their myth
zeal cultus hero, with the Colorado
river, a legend most beautifully told
by DR.. J. Walter Tewkes in his mon
ograph on the Snake Dance
The Navahoes, too, have stories, as
also the Chemehuevis, Mohaves and
Zumas, which, however, I must tell
at another time.
