When the Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga, People of the Night, were made they had fire. They wandered about upon the earth, but saw no people. At the beginning of day, when night had passed, they suddenly came upon the Ṭsi´-zhu Wa-noⁿ, a warlike people. The Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga offered their services to these strangers, which were accepted. The Ṭsi´-zhu Wa-noⁿ gave to the Hoⁿ´ I-ni-ḳa-shi-ga the office of Sho´-ḳa, which carried with it the duty of filling the ceremonial pipe and lighting it with the mystic fire of the People of the Night.
