These erosions are mostly regular cones, tent-shaped, between and behind which open chasms and deep rents like the one above which, as we recollect, lies the estufa of the Koshare. Topanashka walked toward the upper part of the cluster of dwellings of Shyuamo, where the ascending slope was sparsely covered with brush. In front of one of the caves sat a woman.
"Shyuamo hanutsh," he proceeded, "is great in numbers but weak in strength, for its people have no food for themselves, and what they raise is barely enough for their koitza, their makatza, and the little ones. They themselves must starve," he cried, "in order that other clans may increase through the children which my men beget with their daughters!"
He stopped short and fastened his eyes on the floor. Hoshkanyi sighed, and appeared to be much embarrassed. "I don't know what to do," the little man stuttered. "Have you been asked to do anything?" "Yes, they have " He stopped, sighed again, and then proceeded hastily and with an expression of anguish in his face, "Shyuamo hanutsh asks that Tzitz hanutsh " The Hotshanyi commanded him to desist.
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.
So great was the surprise caused by this that Tyope lifted his face and looked at the old man in blank astonishment. Kauaitshe stared at Topanashka like one suddenly aroused by a wondrous piece of news. "Tyope is right," continued the maseua; "Shyuamo has not soil enough. He is also right in saying that there is not room enough on the Tyuonyi for making new plantations."
Zashue denied it positively, and added, "The Naua is out of doors." "In that case it is our people again who have to suffer." His passion was aroused; he cried, rather than spoke "The Shyuamo never suffer anything. Who knows but the shuatyam, Tyope, and the old one have again done something to harm us!" Ere Zashue could reply to this sally the young man had left the cave.
That more opposition was not made to this selection was due to two facts, first, to the tacit acknowledgment on the part of all that it seemed fair to give Shyuamo a share in the tribal government, and second, to the equally tacit conviction that Hoshkanyi, while in appearance a man of determination and perspicacity, was in fact but a pompous and weak individual, ambitious and vain, and without the faculty of doing harm.
One more Koshare in Tanyi, and one who would dwell with Tyame, besides, after marriage, was a gain. It would facilitate the realization of the plan of a disruption of tribal ties by creating disunion among the clans most powerful, after Shyuamo. Tyope did not care for the expulsion of certain special clusters as a whole, provided a certain number and a certain kind of people were removed.
He accused them of having done wrong in not sharing their fields with the clan of the Turquoise some time before, since it was the duty of those who had too much to divide with those who were poorer. He said that it was wrong on the part of Tzitz to have remained silent when they knew how much Shyuamo did for the tribe, while at the same time they had not enough for their own existence.
The tapop broke the silence by turning officially to the principal shaman and asking him, "Sa umo yaya, what do you hold concerning the demand of our children from Shyuamo?" The Chayan raised his face, his eyes sparkled. He gave his reply in a positive tone, "I hold it is well, provided Tzitz hanutsh is satisfied."
