Text Appearing Before Image: elp him. Together Coyote and Musk-rat pulled the great beaver to land. Then they cutup Wishpoosh. They threw the pieces over the land. From the head of Wishpoosh, Coyote made theNez Perces, great in council. From the arms hemade the Cayuses, powerful with the bow and war-club. From the legs he made the Klickitats, famousrunners. From the ribs he made the Yakimas.From the belly he made the Chinooks, short, fatpeople, with big stomachs. Coyote at last had onlythe hair and blood of Wishpoosh. These he flungfar up the valley to the east. They became the SnakeRiver Indians, a tribe of war and blood. Thus Coyote created the tribes. Then he re-turned up the Columbia. Now in making the Chinooks and the coast tribes,Coyote forgot to give them any mouth. The godEcahni, travelling along, noticed this. Then Ecahnicalled the tribes to him and with a stone knife gaveeach one a mouth. But for fun Ecahni cut themcrooked. He made some mouths very big. Thus the coast tribes have not perfect mouths. 104 Text Appearing After Image: Photo by Lee Moor house. Copyrighted INDIAN TYPE. WHIRLWIND, MEDICINE MAN OF THE CAYUSES
