Do not let me become a boulder, for I may crack in half and crumble away as long as the days dawn in the world."įinally, Ḵaniḵiʼlakw asked," Would you like to become a river?" "Yes, let me become a river that I may flow for as long as the days shall dawn in the world," Gwaʼnalalis replied. "Would you like to become a large boulder?" Again, Gwaʼnalalis answered, "No. Then they rot away for as long as the days dawn in the world." Ḵaniḵiʼlakw asked again, "Would you like to become a mountain?" "No," Gwaʼnalalis answered, "For mountains have slides and crumble away for as long as the days dawn in the world." The Transformer asked a third question. Ḵaniḵiʼlakw asked," Would you like to become a cedar tree?" Gwaʼnalalis replied, "No, cedar trees, when struck by lightning, split and fall. In an earlier encounter, the Transformer had beaten Gwaʼnalalis, who was ready for his return. When the Transformer (or Creator), Ḵaniḵiʼlakw, travelled around the world, he was eventually returned to the place where Gwaʼnalalis lived. J.Sykes, 1792, Campbell River and District Museum He was the first of the Mama̱liliḵa̱la.Īdapted from Boas and Hunt, Kwakuitl Texts,1905-06 ʼNa̱mǥis So, Mama̱liliḵa̱la built a house at the place called Two-Headed. And, as soon as the man came to the surface, Creator called out to him, "Your name will be Mama̱liliḵa̱la." So the Creator told him to dive one more time, and chanted Mali loudly while the man was submerged. The man replied that he thought he could start to see a little light even though he was able to see very, very well indeed.

And when he came to the surface, the Creator asked if he could see our world. So the man dove a third time while the Creator chanted, "Mali, Mali, Mali." And the man dove so deep and stayed so long that he could even see the monsters in the darkest depths. "Well, we will have to try it one more time," said the Creator. The Creator's cure had worked, but the Creator did not know this. And when he came to the surface, he told the Creator that he still couldn't see. And when the man dove deeply, the Creator chanted again, "Mali, Mali, Mali." But, the blind man did not really stay under water for very long. "Well dive again and stay under just as long as you possibly can!" said the Creator. So the Creator said, "Dive into the deep water and stay under as long as you can." And when the man did this, the Creator chanted," Mali, Mali, Mali." When the man came to the surface, the Creator called out, asking him if he could see.

The man replied he was starving and was searching for something to eat. So, the Creator spoke to him and asked what he was doing. The Creator watched this man and realized that he was feeling around as if he were searching for something. That's what the Yuʼtłinux believe the Mama̱liliḵa̱la say that the man was swimming along Archer Place. He was at a place called Snake-Receptacle when he saw a man sitting on a rock.

The Creator was going from one place to another changing and transforming the world into the shape we see today. We of the Kwaguʼł know that our ancestors were the Seagull, Sun, Grizzly Bear and Thunderbird."Īdopted from a discussion recorded by George Hunt, 1906 Indeed, he just came and did mischief to men, when he made them into raccoon, and land otter, and deer, for he only transformed them into animals. But the Chiefs of the Kwaguʼł scoffed at this, saying, "Do not say that the Transformer was the Creator of all tribes. For the Nawitti believe that the Transformer (or Creator) went about creating the first ancestors of all the tribes from people who already existed. That is the reason that we Kwaguʼł are many groups, for each group had its own original ancestor."Ī Chief visiting from the Nawitti disagreed, and the Kwaguʼł of all four groups became angry. And the others were caused when the Sun and Grizzly Bear and Thunderbird also took off their masks. This was the beginning of one of the groups of our tribe. I see it altogether mistaken what the others say, for it was the Seagull who first became man by taking off his mask and turning into a man. Then spoke the Great-Inviter, saying, "Listen Kwaguʼł and let me speak a really true word. Others said, "It is Mink, Tłisa̱lagʼlakw, who made our first ancestors. Then Ma̱lid spoke, saying, "It is the Sun, our Chief, who created our ancestors of all the tribes." And when the others asked him how this was possible, for the Sun never made even one man, the Chief was silent. The Kwaguʼł Chiefs were discussing the creation of their ancestors while waiting for the second course at a feast given by one of the Chiefs at Tsax̱is.
