One day when Coyote was fishing in a stream¹ he saw Bear.

Bear was very angry, a bee had stung² him on the nose!

He said to Coyote "I am very hungry, the bees did not give me any honey. I will eat you!"

Coyote said "That is where you are wrong Bear." And with those words he slayed Bear. With his blood he made different Indian tribes³.

After he was finished Fox said "You still have one more area of land left!" Coyote thought and he sprinkled⁴ rich blood from the heart of Bear onto the area of a beautiful river.

That is how the Indian nation of tribes was formed
