PRINT No. 2 Taharonhiawá:kon and Tawiskáron battle. The battle between Tawiskáron [Flint] and Taharonhiawá:kon [Holder-of-Heavens] who will rule the world. Tawiskáron became angry, and he got a stick to use for his weapon and said "Now I kill thee" and with the stick he struck his brother. But after awhile Tawiskáron became aware that his blows against Taharonhiawá:kon did not cut or hurt him. And so his blows failed. Then Tawiskáron fled and Taharonhiawá:kon pursued him. Whenever Taharonhiawá:kon saw yellow flint and deer horns he would pick them up and hit his brother with them. Then after awhile he threw him over the mountain toward the west where the earth extends and there lies the view of the large mountains that crosses the whole earth. So it is said that is where he dwells. |
