He said to himself, “Why remain in seclusion when I have so much power?”. He became restless and wanted to travel. He journeyed down the Columbia River, and there he met Chickadee (Ĉsqaqn’a) Chickadee was a warrior, dressed in his beautiful beaded war headdress of which he was very proud. As soon as Coyote saw him, he thought, “I will kill him and take his head-dress.” 16 17
So, he killed Chickadee and took his quiver of arrows and his beaded head-dress. He put them on and felt very brave and proud. He thought himself very handsome, much handsomer than Chickadee ever had been. He stepped about, shaking his head from side to side, and resolved to travel close to the river, so that he might see his reflection.
As he came around a bend of the river, he saw blue smoke in the distance rising from a tent which seemed warm and comfortable. He thought, “I will call and see if there is a beautiful maiden to admire me”. To his disappointment, he saw only twelve children. They all spoke at once in reply to his questions, and he could not understand them. They were the Willow-Grouse (ss s) family, who spoke their own language. They were trying to tell him that their parents were gathering berries. Then Coyote became angry and thought they were calling him names. He went out, gathered pitch, and put a piece on the eyes of the children. When their parents returned, they were all blind.
