the canon's head, over which now plunges a beautiful waterfall.

The brothers then set off for home, taking the heart of their slain enemy
with them. Arriving at Tzilhnuhodihli they found their mother in tears,
for she was certain that her boys had been killed and devoured by
monsters. Though unchanged in size, so altered were they in appearance
that Yolkai Estsan could not believe them to be her own boys whom she was
mourning as dead, but the story of their adventures from the time they had
left home was soon told, and all rejoiced.

In the days following, Naye{~COMBINING BREVE~}nezgani and Tobadzischi{~COMBINING BREVE~}ni made incursions
into the lands of the alien gods, killing them all and freeing the earth
from the dread and curse of these man-killing monsters. The first to meet
destruction at their hands when they took up their deliberate search for
giants was Deilget, Giant Antelope, who had great blue horns upon which he
tossed people to death. The next accosted was Tse Nahali, the preying
Mountain Eagle, and soon after they sought and killed Tsetahidzilhtuhli,
Among The Rocks He Kicks Them Down The Mountain. Then Binayeagani, Who
Kills With His Eyes, met death, followed shortly after by Tse{~COMBINING BREVE~}agai,
Rolling Bowlder, and Sush Nalkai, Tracking Bear, the last to lose their
lives at the hands of the youthful warriors, Naye{~COMBINING BREVE~}nezgani and
Tobadzischini, who have since remained the War Gods of the Navaho.

character of a clown and as such creates much merriment in the dances in
which he appears. His apparel consists principally of spruce boughs and a
mask.

The Hozhoni Hatal, or Happiness Chant, is a nine-days' chant held inside a
hogan, and like many of the Navaho ceremonies, it was derived from another
tribe. The myth relating to it tells of a renowned warrior who had two
beautiful sisters whom he wished to see married, but only to men who
should first prove their strength and valor in a feat of arms; so word was
sent to all t
