"And yet you must hear about it, for Mitsha is a daughter of the Koshare." "She is not Koshare herself, her mother only and Tyame hanutsh are entitled to speak." Zashue was becoming impatient. "Hachshtze," Say interfered, "I know that you are not fond of Okoya. Still he is good." "Far better than Shyuote," interjected the younger brother. She continued,
So he crept into the estufa of Tanyi hanutsh, sat down beside the others, and soon joined in the chorus of discordant voices in the everlasting refrain, In the meantime Hayoue had drawn closer to Say in the kitchen, saying, "Sister-in-law, I have come to speak to you concerning Okoya." She motioned to him to remain where he was, and said, half in jest, half in earnest,
"Its women and its children are well! But we, at the lower end of the cliffs," he extended his arm to the east, "starve in order that your daughters and the little ones whom we have begotten to the other clans shall not perish. We had no more than food enough to pray for, to fast for, in order that the Shiuana might not let our brethren be lost." "How many Koshare are there in Tzitz hanutsh?
Mitsha's clan was that of Topanashka, his own maternal grandfather; and if he spoke against the union matters would be desperate. His mother, therefore, held the key to the situation, inasmuch as through her both the Eagle clan, to which Mitsha belonged, and Tanyi hanutsh, his own consanguine cluster, could be favourably or unfavourably influenced.
Henceforward he and his two colleagues were the pivots around which the further proceedings were to revolve. The tapop was forgotten; nobody paid attention to him any longer. "I do; I say that Shotaye, the woman belonging to Tzitz hanutsh, has carried destruction to the tribe." "In what way?" "In preventing the rain from falling in season."
A certain evening when Zashue was sure to be absent, owing to a gathering of the Koshare, was appointed for the purpose. On that evening the two women sat alone in the kitchen. Okoya was away in the estufa of Tanyi hanutsh. The two younger children were fast asleep in the outer room. It was a cold night, but the fire on the hearth had almost completely subsided, only a few embers remaining.
Shyuamo is a strong hanutsh, and what it wants will be done. It alone can do more than Tzitz and Tanyi together." The quick, bold, apparently unpremeditated reply relieved Zashue of an undefined feeling of suspicion that had arisen within him.
"Tzitz hanutsh," Zashue quickly responded. The old man turned to one of the delegates. "Father," he called to him in his language, "our sons belong to your people. Will you take them with you, or shall they go to the summer cacique?" The other reflected a short while, then he replied, "The summer cacique is busy; let the brethren come with me. I will lead them to the homes of P'ho Doa."
He glanced around the circle pompously; but when his eye caught the cold gaze of Topanashka he felt almost a chill, and shrank to natural and more modest proportions. He looked quickly in the direction where Tyope was sitting; but the delegate from Shyuamo hanutsh held his face covered with both hands, and did not notice the pleading look of the little governor.
A sullen quiet sets in; the hanutsh recede from each other, and only such as are very intimate venture to interchange opinions, and even they only with the utmost caution. For any event that concerns the welfare of the community is, in the mind of the aborigine, intimately connected with the doings of Those Above.
