content: Curtin worked at the Cattaraugus Reservation beginning in September, 1883 (Bureau of American Ethnology-AR 5, Washington, D.C., 1887, page xxxi). Hewitt did record the same origin myth in Munsee from the same informant, but this is Manuscript Number 16. He also recorded the Seneca origin myth in 1896 on the Cattaraugus Reservation from this informant, "Mr. John Armstrong, of Seneca-Delaware-English mixed blood..." (cf. Bureau of American Ethnology AR 21, 1903, page 137 and pages 221 ff.).
