Handwritten note cites James Owen Dorsey, 'The Ȼegiha Language' in 'Contributions to North American Ethnology,' Vol. 6, p. 292, 'Bear Girl': Girl has bear paramour, which the village kills. She dresses the skin and, in playing with children, she puts on the skin and rushes at them. She turns into a bear and kills all but her little sister. Their four brothers return to camp and flee with little sister. Bear pursues and, one after another, the brothers create behind them (1) thorns, (2) forest, (3) very sharp thorns like awls. The fourth creation causes the ground to open, and they kill the bear in the chasm. The chasm closes. Undated.
