The skin was spread, and Kaltsauna emptied his robe full of arrow-points on it. He sat down then and said,—
“I will divide these and put them in different places.”
He gathered each kind of flint into a heap by itself, then pushed it, and said while he pushed, “You go to this place or to that place.”
White flint he pushed and said, “Go you, to Hakamatu.”
The white flint went away; disappeared from the robe; went to Hakamatu, and there is plenty of white flint in that place to-day.
Blue flint he sent east to the edge of our Yana country. Yellow flint he fixed at Iwiljami. To the west he sent flint with fine black, blue, and white stripes; he sent it to Hakachimatu. Green flint he put in Jigulmatu and said,—
“You will find these flints always in the places where I put them to-day, and people who come after you will find them there. There will be flint in those places forever, as long as people want it.”
Besides flint Kaltsauna gave each of the Mapchemaina a wedge made of deer-horn, and a piece of stone; showed them how to dress the flint and make arrow-points. The first arrow-points on earth were those which Kaltsauna made.
Next morning, after he had given the flint and shown the Mapchemaina how to make arrow-points, Kaltsauna went home. On the second day Jupka called all the Mapchemaina together and said,—
“Get your arrow-points ready; sweat to-night; swim early in the morning, and go out on a great hunt to-morrow.”
