The people of Corn and the Seeds, guided by the Kwínikwakwe, fared
for long peacefully, southward along the valley of the River of Red
Flowing Waters, building them towns of beauty and greatness, as may be
seen to this day, and the marks of their rites also are on the rocks
whithersoever they traveled. Far south they fared until they came to
the great valley of Shóhkoniman (home, or place of nativity, of the
Flute-canes) beneath the Mountain of Flutes (Shóhko yálana--La Sierra
Escudilla), whence they turned them eastward.
How they builded thereafter, wheresoever long they remained, not single
towns, but for each sept of their kinties a town by itself, and the
names of these clan-towns, and the wars they fought contending with
the Kâ´kâ, and how finally they reached the Mountain of Space-speaking
Markings (Yála Tétsinapa), then turned them back westward and sat
them down at last with other people of the way, in the upper valley of
Zuñiland (Shíwina Téu‘hlkwaina), building Héshotatsína (The Town of
Speech-markings) and many other towns, all of them round and divided
into parts, ere they rejoined the people of the Middle, when that they
too had come nigh over the heart of the world--all this and much else
is told in the speeches they themselves hold of our ancient discourse.
