story for every need eed comes from prom theia pull 11 avoid mold pouch HIa 1 1 I led sIed my friend the indian bouttie about bout the ancient on the i locks so abundant in utah and else where and he said that wrote long time ago av older than my language long longtime long time ago that writing is by god broth er the story has come from that the story Is a told told by the grand grandfather to grandfather and from grandfather to little boy and from there on down so the story is thia this it here follows lust just as he gave it do the marks on the rocks say it or is the story adapted to the marks on I 1 wish I 1 knew the indians have thousands of and they cover every conceivable range of subjects and of course the imitative and versatile mind of the indian Is busy so that a writing on the rocks inay may have a story adapted to it I 1 have one such that I 1 think is built around the rock writing not that the rook rock writing is the narrative intelli gible which tells the story my readers can think what they wish I 1 am getting some nice stories and original so far as my own limited knowledge goes but the indian is sincere in telling me that this story that writing is by god brother the story has come from that so go here la Is the story FB sr the god brother and other man who was here at now the white peo pie calls it goose mountain the two men there on the feast and deer that all they eat fior for their liveten on and god cod brother went oft off and the other man stay to there camp and this man heard some song it went alike some one saying where is the home of god broth er era She Sho and then got up in hia his camp and see this human coming up singing so he said to blin himself seli that get out and run around a head of oi him or her and see so did not go to her but she fount out his smoke going up from the brush shelter in the camp that camp ft as made of 0 ce dar bowers boughs and the she ran to hia his camp again and got to his camp first so he said who or OT what are youa said bro ther to tor for this oldest bro ther heard all of this said to himself that is the elder brother god heard this for he can hear all and bald laid to himself I 1 wander what she will do to her the distant god birther bi other sees it and ile heirs it god brother see this in his own bower of boughs in his own camp just as tho enacted before him so the sang by and said in the song come come with me to my mother so heard what she say in her song so followed her long ways so toward night woman ifould say to him to make camp tor for us so She nauib would say yes I 1 will maike make it he said to her so would make with cedar bows boughs and the woman come to camp and sent her power onto him to make the to tall fall as sleep so would say to himself oh well she will get here so I 1 better get sleep first so he did so he wake up and found woman has gone by him so he said whoa she has gone by already I 1 juse guess I 1 will have to follow her again I 1 think he said so sd so the he followed him her for many days as far as tar far as the land lade as tar far as the land laid and to the very sea shore to the very ocean shen tub is lounger god birther bi other the elder brother Is god sometimes in little letters as god brother that means when capitalized thus god brother means the tar far distant elder gd god brother the covach it Is very dit dif ficula to catch the meaning through all shades for son brother younger brother elder brother father all Is almost interchangeable as the as hect wanted Is uppermost so s older brother see the him go along behind her all the way to her home so he sent his power to let mate make let her alone not to touch her so she and he come to the water and said I 1 to him not to be afraid of the water she said it will let you in she said it will let you get in she said to said I 1 am afraid of the water so she said no that is no do not be afraid of the water you come so she take her power to let him into the water god brother the distant god brother many days journey away sent his power to him to get him going with her so he She jumped in water went with her thru the is now called that Is the big water you know linow the ocean it Is hard to spell tor for my indian friend and I 1 don t blame him for missing it exactly so they went on until they found another land Is this a migration legend and old told of the indian coming down the years from a dim past paja in crossing a sea wauk on it that is they walked on oil that another land stayed on other band land bong long time tiie the I 1 told I 1 saya says how ilow they got here went enother land stay there tor for long time so her mother said now mind you has taken the old old indian custom of going to the wife 9 3 the woman a clan which ie is common indian cus torn tom living with her mother I 1 like the story very much so her moth er said to god brother clear across the great ocean that will come back soon as he can told him what he was after that Is shen the younger brother will come back to his own clan and people as boon soon as the great god the god brother can told him what he was sent after do you get it when the will of the elder brother the covach god has been fulfilled und and has gotten in expert ence to hie his being wl blat at he was sent there tid tol acquire so he said alright fine and dandy so she sent back with something on his back a gift bun die dle with this injunction don t let this oft off and take it to your bro ther back to where you come from tell him what it Is so he can see it do what every what he want with it 1 I gum you get the drift here so took many days and night to come back to him god brother act so on x that where indian come to thia this country this story Is to from way avay way back pack I 1 dont gnp how tar far juse just a long long long time ago you know this story come from tor fot fathers forefathers generations genn rations to that all tor for you ot of this story i the word pouch Is empty that all tor for you frank beckwith from me of this story so in this ancient I 1 told tom we have accompanied at the will of his elder brother god tor for she Is sometimes called the lit tie tle brother of god in a migration of a family men and women across the and when the purpose Is dione done and the will of the powers been achieved he returns bearing a present bundle on hia his back for or his elder brother from his own mother in law I 1 wonder Is there something deeper than the sup ertic erfle lal ial entertainment we whites get out of this it gives one pause tor for thought though tl ye olde olde dyme and dustye with the fog 0 years what ilea lies wrapped it if anything in bour our words id give anything to know I 1 like the old stories I 1 think they aie ale wonderful thanks FB sr ADDENDA I 1 passed this back to the indian for correction and he makes some comment that Is interesting Interest ng ug and elu certain portions I 1 some indian says that are different from any writ ing no one can read it I 1 don t know what akope I 1 nev er eee see any ny 11 two years ago you will remember Pres dent william R palmer of ce dar wrote a very interesting letter to me about two indian friends who v ere to show him akope in the hills aset of delta near an spring but were unable or idt La willing tot to tind find it now I 1 will add something here p great interest to archeologists th thib ladha says 1 I cant hardly J jai tell just where a home was but all amount the big high moun bains mostly down rear moapa you bee see where he N was as and had his 1 it there yet it no not gone LOVELOCK CAVE and GYPSUM CAVE I 1 where kelly and steward went and saw harrington get out ground sloth remains before their very eyes and charcoal on the hot torn tom of the cave made at the very time when the told says that she ab was living there why this Is wonderful and from an indian here in kanosh hanosh kelly finds ashes up north in caves on ion the old lake bon neville shores right on the very bed strata evidencing tires fires and cy ey relatively close to the withdrawal of lake bonneville waters that la to at least several thousand years ago and this old told re lates kindred facts dim with the years and covered with an accie tion of myth but all relate to subject and almost evidential in value my indian friend further says it was right here amount here that big water clouded elver over the country you go to it see what he done tor for something to eat when the WATER WAS UP TO HIM this la Is wonder wonderful full I 1 would give lust just ten million dollars and forty cents to be right close and get got all there la Is to be gotten of this ancient told to tit fit into geology and ar i che you can go to the place to see haw how it look alike and you see pig ent jent he means here yant some what like the edible or yucca of which I 1 wrote so much about it a few months ago they say the ants up there big lots cud cuc ketes cactuses lie ile has difficulty with the technique of our language and I 1 do not blame him it Is hard tor for us ev en 1 I will repeat a portion they say the ants up there big lot cuc ketes what he plant for himself to eat during the hard days the car can go to pert inear to it land and than lots walking to do 1 id I d ave much to be able to go him to the CAVE mentin oed tor for arche are pursuing intensively the study of cave sites lovelock bo velock gyp sum promontory etc etc I 1 mentioned in the text that it was very difficult tor for ma me to separate and correctly use the terms brother younger son etc according to the aspect wanted as all were nearly in ter changeable and my indian friend clears my difficulty by saying you said there only two brothers in the story younger and elder brother all the time don dont t matter which in letter letter or story the covach To vach Is the older ono on waa ln in clerge ch arge of all earth keic etc hut but She was younger brother he ile was tv more of talking about ahat hat he done WONDERFUL positively wonderful covach far removed ellent silent immense lut human the talkative younger brother the helper of man close intimate the little brother of god he la is a culture hero gives man his arts hia his textiles tex tilea provides him with salt giving the needful and necessary living and the means to obtain it and was more of about what he done donel that touch la Is tine fine I 1 like this very very much I 1 can never thank than my indian friend enough lie ile adds covach had power over she to make him do what he wants alike this covach lived and she dies covach get him up and see again so said that deth of getting up was not right death Is death not to get up again act alike 1 I will have some remarks on oon con in a hollowing issue in the meantime this Is explanatory of an dent indian and the distinction between them and true akope which is not man a writing but god s writing den id kl ite not a A is MOKI CHE POPE writings ot of the dokia the dead ones in a double sense |
