When we were born in the corner of the house we were called Humar-kwiδe and Humar-hanga. Now we shall not have those names any longer. My name will be Sowêltek."

[28] Crow.
[29] The Diegueño, or perhaps more properly the Diegueño offshoot in the desert and along the river whom we call Kamia. The Mohave say that the Kamia, the Yuma, and they themselves sing Raven songs, but the Kamia series is different.
