The buffalo had disappeared, and many people went hungry.<\/p>\n<p>One bright day some men were playing the game of ring and javelin<br \/>\nin the center of the camp circle. They used a red and black hoop<br \/>\nand four long sticks, two red and two black, which they threw at<br \/>\nthe hoop as it rolled along. In order to win, a player had to throw<br \/>\nhis stick through the hoop while it was still moving.<\/p>\n<p>A large audience had already gathered when a young man came from<br \/>\nthe south side of the camp circle to join them. He wore a buffalo<br \/>\nrobe with the hair turned outward. His body was painted yellow,<br \/>\nand a yellow-painted eagle breach-feather was fastened to his head.<\/p>\n<p>Soon another young man dressed exactly like the first came from<br \/>\nthe north side of the circle to watch the game. They were unacquainted,<br \/>\nbut when the two caught sight of each other they moved through the<br \/>\ncrowd to talk. &quot;My friend,&quot; said the man from the south<br \/>\nside, &quot;you&rsquo;re imitating my dress. Why are you doing it?&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The other man said, &quot;It&rsquo;s you who are imitating me. Why?&quot;<br \/>\nIn their explanations, both men told the same story.<\/p>\n<p>They had entered the spring that flowed out from the hillside,<br \/>\nand there they had been instructed how to dress. By now the crowd<br \/>\nhad stopped watching the game and gathered around to listen, and<br \/>\nthe young men told the people that they would go into the spring<br \/>\nagain and come out soon.<\/p>\n<p>As the crowd watched, the two approached the spring. The man from<br \/>\nthe south covered his head with his buffalo robe and entered. The<br \/>\nother did the same. The young men splashed through the water and<br \/>\nsoon found themselves in a large cave.<\/p>\n<p>Near the entrance sat an old woman cooking some buffalo meat and<br \/>\ncorn in two separate earthen pots. She welcomed them: &quot;Grandchildren,<br \/>\nyou have come. Here, sit beside me.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>They sat down, one on each side of her, and told her that the people<br \/>\nwere hungry and that they had come to her for food. She gave them<br \/>\ncorn from one pot and meat from the other. They ate until they had<br \/>\nhad enough, and when they were through the pots were still full.<\/p>\n<p>Then she told them to look toward the south, and they saw that<br \/>\nthe land in that direction was covered with buffalo. She told them<br \/>\nto look toward the west, and they saw all kinds of animals, large<br \/>\nand small, including ponies, though they knew nothing of ponies<br \/>\nin those days. She told them to look toward the north, and they<br \/>\nsaw corn growing everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>The old woman said to them, &quot;All this that you have seen shall<br \/>\nbe yours in the future. Tonight I cause the buffalo to be restored<br \/>\nto you. When you leave this place, the buffalo will follow, and<br \/>\nyour people will see them coming before sunset. Take this uncooked<br \/>\ncorn in your robes, and plant it every spring in low, moist ground.<br \/>\nAfter it matures, you can feed upon it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Take also this meat and corn that I have cooked,&quot; she<br \/>\nsaid, &quot;and when you have returned to your people, ask them<br \/>\nto sit down to eat in the following order: &#8211; first, all males, from<br \/>\nthe youngest to the oldest, with the exception of one orphan boy;<br \/>\n&#8211; second, all females, from the oldest to the youngest, with the<br \/>\nexception of one orphan girl. When all are through eating, the rest<br \/>\nof the food in the pots is to be eaten by the orphan boy and the<br \/>\norphan girl.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The two men obeyed the old woman. When they passed out of the spring,<br \/>\nthey saw that their entire bodies were painted red, and the yellow<br \/>\nbreach- feathers on their heads had turned red. They went to their<br \/>\npeople, who ate as directed of the corn and meat. There was enough<br \/>\nfor all, and the contents of the pots remained full until they were<br \/>\npassed to the two orphan children, who ate all the rest of the food.<\/p>\n<p>Toward sunset the people went to their lodges and began watching<br \/>\nthe spring closely, and in a short time they saw a buffalo leap<br \/>\nout. The creature jumped and played and rolled, then returned to<br \/>\nthe spring. In a little while another buffalo jumped out, then another<br \/>\nand another, and finally they came so fast that the Cheyenne were<br \/>\nno longer able to count them. The buffalo continued to emerge all<br \/>\nnight, and the following day the whole country out in the distance<br \/>\nwas covered with buffalo. The buffalo scented the great camp.<\/p>\n<p>The next day the Cheyenne surrounded them, for though the men hunted<br \/>\non foot, they ran very fast. For a time the people had an abundance<br \/>\nof buffalo meat.<\/p>\n<p>In the spring they moved their camp to low, swampy land, where<br \/>\nthey planted the corn they had received from the medicine stream.<br \/>\nIt grew rapidly, and every grain they planted brought forth strong<br \/>\nstalks bearing two to four ears of corn. The people planted corn<br \/>\nevery year after this.<\/p>\n<p>One spring after planting corn, the Cheyenne went on a buffalo<br \/>\nhunt. When they had enough meat to last for a long time, they returned<br \/>\nto their fields. To their surprise, they found that the corn had<br \/>\nbeen stolen by some neighboring tribe. Nothing but stalks remained<br \/>\n&#8211; not even a kernel for seed.<\/p>\n<p>Though the theft had occurred about a moon before, the Cheyenne<br \/>\ntrailed the enemies&rsquo; footprints for several days. They even fought<br \/>\nwith two or three tribes, but never succeeded in tracing the robbers<br \/>\nor recovering the stolen crop. It was a long time before the Cheyenne<br \/>\nplanted any more corn.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheyenne-Arapaho Mythology Wiki Los Cheyennes son una naci\u00f3n nativa americana de las Grandes Llanuras, aliados cercanos de los Arapahos y en general aliados de los Lakotas... <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3895,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22095","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22095"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22095\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22099,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22095\/revisions\/22099"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mythslegendes.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
