Perhaps there is nothing that has
given rise to so many legends and
myths among primitive people as has
fire. It's very nature indicated that
it belonged exclusively to the gods
and It's hnship to the lightning and
the sun bore out this belief,
The Greeks old myth Of how Pro-
metheus brought fire down from
heaven for humanity and Of how he
was punished for it is no more In
teresting than the legends among the
Indian tribes explanatory Of the or
lgin of fire.
To their untutored minds, fire was
an enigma and partook Of spirit ma
ture. II did not grow, It must bel
kindled. II let alone II went out.
with It there was warmth light COM
fort without II there was cold'
darkness and death. To see it spring
forth from cold. hard flint or from
chafed wood was mystery and their
ingenuity was taxed to explain II.
All OF the legends Of the northwest
Indians give Sieepyai (Coyote), the
great Indian god. some credit for the
gift OF fire. The most prevalent le-
gend has II that long long ago when
the animal people inhabited the
earth. there was no fire and people
suffered from the cold and were obli-
ged TO eat their meat raw.
speeIyai was chleftain over all the
tribes Of animal people and he called
la.y hnVnI
fire" he said. I'VE are freezing and
must eat our food raw. There is fire
in the sky and the people up there
are warm and are enjoying life"
Various plans of securing the fire
we're discussed and II was decided
first that some means must be devised
Of reaching the sky which the Indi-
ans fancied was a material canopy
II was decided to try 70 reach the sky
with an arrow.
To that end the people went to al
hiRh mountain and Speelyl fitted an
arrow to his bow and shot upward.
Up and mp II went for long time but
finally II came back. II had not
reached the sky One by one the ami

failed until the beaver picked up his
bow. He shot and the arrow pene-
trated the sky. He shot again and the
second arrow stuck in the notch of
the first. Five qulvers full of arrows
he shot each arrow sticking in the
notch OF the one which preceded II
until finally there was a long rod
reaching from the earth to the sky.
Speelyai said. "Who will go up to-
the sky and bring down the fire."
There was no reply for some time
but finally Koosi the dog, volunteer

will go up and smell around and, az
night when all are asleep will
bring II down in my mouth"
The dog ascended. climbing for a
long time. On reaching the sky he
cut hole IN y md c." wl01 into the
sky country Here he found that the
people lived as those on earth except
that their surroundings were vastly
superior and more beautiful. Being

THE INDIAN VIEW OF FIRE ORIGIN :

number of animals today owe their
physical peculiarities to this fall from
the sky. But fire was secured for
the people of the earth.
Another Version.
Another legend known to all the
tribes from klamath Lake to north
ern Washington is as follows:
All Of the fire in existence was in
ancient times in the possession Of two
old wrinkled hags who would not sell,
loan or give it away. They were i'm
pervlous to threats, supplcation or
Establishment Try as he would, no
Indian could get any fire, Coyote
was beseeched to aid the people Sc
cure fire for they needed 1t sOrely.
After much though Coyote worked
out a plan. He expected hard strug-
gle and long race, so he stationed all
of the animals along the route lead
ing from the hut Of the hags to the
land Of the fireles people. The fast
est runners he stationed nearest the
hut. leaving the slowest near home
The god then appointed a man to sta
ton himself near the house Of the
women and. at a given signal, to at
tack them.
Everything Neing arranged, Coyote
himself went TO the hut and, com
planning of cold, begged permission TO
90 in and warm. The hays, unsus-
picious permitted him TO enter their
abode. All at once the concealed man
jumped up and rushed at the women.
During the fighting and scratching
Coyote snatched a brand Of fire and
rushed off toward the Indian camps
The old hags, seeing their fire
gone. gave pursuit, pressing Coyote
hard. With lolling tongue and
strength spent, he reached the PAN
ther and gave to him the brand. The
panther relayed it on TO the bear and
the bear on to another animal, the old
hags all the time pressing hard after
the thieves. II passed safely along the
line until at last 1t fell into the hands
of the frog who was not built for
speed. The old hags overlook him
and were just about to pounce on him
when he swallowed the brand, by this
time small, and hoped into a pool.
He retained the fire in his belly un-
I'll he arose and then spit it out up
on wood and rocks. The Indians
have always had fire since for they
have been able to extract the fire
from the rocks by striking them to-
gether and from the wood by rub
bing il vigorously.
Still another version represents
that the fire was originally kept by
five old blind women who lived to-
gether. Each had a firebrand and
they were forever counting them to
see if they had lost any. They were
very suspicious of each other, each
suspecting that the others were try
ing to steal her brand
While they were counting their
brands one day. Coyote sneaked up
and stealthily stole one brand. The
old women Immediately discovered the
loss and accused the others of taking
it. They began to quarrel and then
to fight. and while they were fight
ing. Coyote stole the other brands and
ran off with them TO his people.

could find was filth but, contrary to
expectations, he found this very plea
SAINT to the taste. This, together with
the cheerfulness of the surroundings
determined him to forego his origi-
nal purpose and to remain perma-
nently in the sky country.
The people down on earth began
TO wonder what had become of
Koosi Finally the beaver volunteered
to ascend Il will get the fire" he
said, you must all follow after me.
When get there the people will
wonder what kind Of a strange ami
mai l am. Seeing that l am fat they
will kill me and decide to eat me.
When they are gathered about the
tables, you must rush In upon them.
I will then secure the fire, hide 1t
under my long fingernails and bring
II down"
So the beaver went up the arrow
rod TO the sky. Developments came
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-22

just as he predicted. The people
saw and wondered at him. They fin
ally slew him and cut his fat body
into strips and were just about to
make d feast when all Of the animal
reople from the earth came up the
rod, through the hole in the sky and
fell upon the natives. They We're
frightened and scampered away Inn
mediately the beaver resumed his or
iginal form, came to life, seized the
fire and, hiding 1t under his finger
nails, slid down the. arrow rod to
earth.
The others followed in precipitate
haste. Some succeeded in getting down
all right but their combined weight
broke the rod and many fell. Speel-
yai himself fell and was mashed in
to the flattened shape which the coy
cte now has. Some fell into the wa
ter and became fishes others flew
out into space and became birds. A
