ErrataIn this book of Pima legends, various errors with regard to Indian words have occurred which will be corrected in a second edition. These are principally as follows:The rule was made that all Indian words should be printed the first time in italics, with hyphens to facilitate pronunciation; afterwards in roman type, without hyphens. This rule has many times been violated.There is a lack of uniformity in the spelling, etc., of many of the Indian terms. Thus the name of the old seeneeyawkum has been spelled in different ways, but should always be Comalk Hawkkih. The name of the Creator should always be Juwerta Mahkai. The name of his subordinate should be Eeheetoy. Gee-ee-sop should be Geeheesop. Cheof should be Cheoff. Vah-kee-woldt-kee, as on page 8, should be Vahf-kee-woldt-kih as on page 112. Sah-kote-kee, on page 183, should be Sah-kote-kih, and Chirt-kee should be Chirt-kih. On page 224, vahs-shroms should be vahs-hroms. Tcheuassat Seeven (page 237) should be Tcheunassat Seeven. Stchenadack Seeven (page 238) should be Stcheuadack Seeven. Scheunassat Seeven, on page 239, should be Tcheunassat Seeven. In the story of the Turquoises and the Red Bird (page 99) the name of the chief who lived in the Casa Grande ruins should have been spelled with a u, instead of a w, to secure uniformity; also the Indian name of the turquoises. The name of the Salt River Mountain, wherever it occurs, should always be Moehahdheck.Table of ContentsThe Story of these Stories1Stories of the First Night27The Traditions of the Pimas27The Story of the Creation27Juhwerta Mahkai’s Song of Creation33Notes on Story of Creation34The Story of the Flood36Juhwerta Mahkai’s Song before the Flood51The Song of Superstition Mountains51Ee-ee-toy’s Song when He made the World Serpents51Notes on the Story of the Flood52The Story of Ah-ahn-he-eat-toe-pahk Mahkai62Notes on the Story of Ah-ahn-he-eat-toe-pahk Mahkai71The Story of Vandaih, The Man-eagle72Notes on the Story of Vandaih89Stories of the Second Night95The Story of the Turquoises and the Red Bird99Notes on the Story of the Turquoises102The Story of Wayhohm, Toehahvs and Tottai103Notes on the Story of Wayhohm105The Story of Hawawk106Notes on the Story of Hawawk118The Story of Tawquahdahmawks and her Canal120Notes on the Story of Tawquahdahmawks123How Nooee Killed Ee-ee-toy125The Song of Nooee when he went to the Sun131When Nooee Killed Ee-ee-toy131Notes on how Nooee Killed Ee-ee-toy132Ee-ee-toy’s Resurrection and Speech to Juhwerta Mahkai133Notes on Ee-ee-toy’s Resurrection143Stories of the Third Night144The Story of Ee-ee-toy’s Army147The First Song of Ee-ee-toy’s Army153The Doctor’s Song to the Hunters153The Destruction of the Vahahkkees154Song before the Fight with Cheof-Hahvo Seeven162A Song of the Doctor whose Snake Threw down the Vahahkkee162Notes on the Story of Ee-ee-toy’s Army and that of the Destruction of the Vahahkkees163The Story of Sohahnee Mahkai and Kawkoinpuh166Notes on the Story of Sohahnee Mahkai172The Story of Pahtahnkum173The Song of Koelhahah about her Son189Notes on the Story of Pahtahnkum190Stories of the Fourth Night190The Story of the Gambler’s War193Notes on the Story of the Gambler’s War205The Story of Nahvahchoo206Notes on the Story of Nahvahchoo216The Story of Corn and Tobacco217Notes on the Story of Corn and Tobacco230The Story of the Children of Cloud231Notes on the Story of Cloud234The Story of Tcheunassat Seeven235A Song of Tcheunassat Seeven240The Lark’s Song about his Lost Wife240The Legend of Blackwater241ErrataColophonAvailabilityThis eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
