Say knows Tyope; she mistrusts him and is even afraid of him. Mitsha is a good girl, and your mother has nothing against her; but she is her mother's daughter, and that mother is Tyope's wife. If Mitsha becomes your wife you will go and live with her, until Tyame hanutsh has a house ready for Mitsha. You will even have to stay at the home of Tyope's wife.
"I saw when Shotaye Koitza and Say Koitza, the daughter of our father the maseua," everybody now looked at the war-chief in astonishment, dismay, or sorrow; but he remained completely impassive, "who lives in the abodes of Tanyi hanutsh, caused the black corn to answer their questions. And there were owl's feathers along with the corn. It was night, and I could not hear what they said.
Flat on his stomach, with chin resting on both hands, indifferent to the peculiar scenery before him, he nevertheless scanned the cliffs as far as they were visible. The grottoes of Tzitz hanutsh opened right in front of him; lower down, the entrances of a few of the caves of Kohaio hanutsh could be seen, for the rocks jutted out like towering pillars.
"It is true our brethren are suffering for want of land whereon to grow their corn. It is equally true that Tzitz hanutsh has more land than it needs, and it is well that Shyuamo should ask for what it wants and not leave the Zaashtesh forever. Tyope has well spoken." Nothing can describe the effect of this speech.
In case they found a few, he promised to return; but should there be many yet alive he was determined upon founding a new settlement. That small clan should not come back and again be in the way of the others. "Tzitz hanutsh," said he in closing, alluding to his own performances, "has saved the tribe; it has done its duty.
He saw, however, that nothing could be done without the consent and support of the higher powers, and that he must curb his martial ardour and abide by the decisions of Those Above. The present topic of conversation being exhausted, both sat in silence for a while, each following his own train of thoughts. Okoya was the first to speak again. "Does your hanutsh mourn?"
"But if Shyuamo hanutsh says to Tzitz hanutsh, 'We will give you such and such things that are precious to you if you give us the land, and does it, then I am in favour of compelling Tzitz hanutsh to give it; for it is better thus than that the tribe should be divided and each part go adrift. These are my thoughts, sa nashtio yaya."
Hoshkanyi's voice still trembled as he called upon the representative of Tanyi hanutsh. The latter replied, "There is more land yet at the Tyuonyi; let Shyuamo increase their ground from some waste tract." "There is no room for it," growled the Koshare Naua. "I say there is," defiantly retorted the other.
Still I have one scalp," he added with simple satisfaction. "Hayoue has many, many! How many have you brought home?" Tyope cast his eyes to the ground. "None," he breathed; he could not conceal his contrition and shame. Kauaitshe made no remark. He was not malicious. "From the great house they ran into that of Tyame hanutsh. There they killed your wife." "And Mitsha, my daughter?"
He only groaned, and sinking shrivelled, pressed down his chest against his knees, as if suffering intense physical pain. He recalled his intrigues with the young Navajo. This last blow to the tribe was his work also. In a monotonous voice the messenger of evil tidings proceeded, "My hanutsh is no more. Tanyi hanutsh is dispersed, scattered, fleeing through the timber.
