They carved the great monster and now Coyote began dealing out portions of the body to various parts of the country all over the land; toward the sunrise. Toward the sunset, toward the warmth, toward the cold, and by that act destining and forenaming the various people; Coeur d'Alene, Cayuse, Pend Oreilles,
Flathead, Blackfeet, Crow, Sioux, et al. And now Fox came up to Coyote, "What is the meaning of this, Coyote? You have distributed all of the body to faraway
lands but have given yourself nothing for this immediate locality." And he (Coyote) turned to the people and said, "Bring me some water with which to wash my
hands." They brought him water and he washed his hands and now with the bloody wash water he sprinkled the local regions saying, “You may be little people
but you will be powerful. Even though you will be little people because I have deprived you, nevertheless you will be very, very, manly."
