Mountain Song (Navaho)
Thither go I!
Chief of all mountains,
Thither go I,
Living forever,
Thither go I,
Blessings bestowing.
Thither go I,
Calling me “Son, my son.”
Thither go I.
Invocation of the Game (San Ildefonso Pueblo)
I (North)
Yonder afar
By the Black Mountain
In the Valley
The Black Chief of the Elk is standing,
And he is our quarry.
II (West)
Yonder afar
By the Mountain of Deer-Trails
In the Valley
The Yellow Chief of the Antelope is standing,
And he is our quarry.
III (South)
Yonder afar
By the Mountain of Flying
In the Valley
The Red Chief of the Antelope is standing,
And he is our quarry.
IV (East)
Yonder afar
By the Mountain of Flowers
In the Valley
The White Chief of the Buffalo is standing,
And he is our quarry.
