Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Traditions of the Hopi, Vol. 8: The Stanley McCormick Hopi Expedition
Hereupon the deity of the west proceeded to make very many birds of different kinds and form, placing them again under the-same cover under which the Wren had been brought to life. They again sang a song over them. Presently the birds began to move under the cover. The goddess removed the cover and found under it all kinds of birds and fowls. Why do you want us so quickly? The latter asked. Yes, we want you to inhabit this world. Hereupon the two deities taught every kind of bird the sound that it should make, and then the birds scattered out in all directions.
