Walking slowly, she returned to her tipi but she did not feel well and sat down to rest. Then she noticed that she was pregnant and grew afraid. How could this happen, she had never been with a man, the sight of her growing abdomen made her angry. Suddenly, she was in labor and quickly gave birth to a boy.

"This child, it is an evil thing," she thought as she tossed the newborn outside, through the doorway of her tipi. The child crawled back to her. Again, she picked him up and, although he was very heavy, threw him out the doorway. He walked back to her, a small young boy, and called her "Ina". Once again, she grabbed him up and dragged his through the doorway, this time he was very heavy and it took all of her strength. When he turned to enter the tipi again, he was a young man. She pushed him but could hardly move him. He smiled at her and said. "Mother, why do you fear me, your own child? Remember, when you sat on the hill today and you put a small rock in your mouth. That is me." She know this was right and the child was her son. She called him Inyan Hok'xi and loved him.
