the origin of this gens:
When the Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga, People of the Night, were made they had
fire. They wandered about upon the earth, but saw no people. At the
beginning of day, when night had passed, they suddenly came upon the
Ṭsi´-zhu Wa-noⁿ, a warlike people. The Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga offered
their services to these strangers, which were accepted. The Ṭsi´-zhu
Wa-noⁿ gave to the Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga the office of Sho´-ḳa, which
carried with it the duty of filling the ceremonial pipe and lighting it
with the mystic fire of the People of the Night.
