The Spirit Chief Names the Animal People
HAH-AH' EEL-ME'-WHEM, the great Spirit Chief, called the Animal People together. They came from all parts of the world. Then the Spirit Chief told them there was to be a change, that a new kind of people was coming to live on the earth.
"All of you Chip-chap-tiqulk--Animal People--must have names," the Spirit Chief said.
"Some of you have names now, some of you haven't. But tomorrow all will have names that shall be kept by you and your descendants forever. In the morning, as the first light of day shows in the sky, come to my lodge and choose your names. The first to come may choose any name that he or she wants. The next person may take any other name. That is the way it will go until all the names are taken. And to each person I will give work to do."
