Hu’ia took the spirit to the Thunders and told him to remain there a while. Later he flew around with Hu’ia and inspected the various Indian tribes. Hu’ia asked him where he wished to be born, The spirit expressed a desire to be born among the Dakota. “‘All right,” said Hu’ia, who then took him to the Thunders and told them the spirit wished to be born among the Dakota. Hu’ia flew over the Dakota camp, to ascertain in which tipi he should be born. The Thunders told him to remain with them until Hu’ia returned. Hu'ia found a tipi in which the husband was a medicineman and the wife a medicinewoman. He knew their tipi would be a good place in which to be born. In a dream, Hu’ia informed them that a son would be born to them; that they must care for him and not make fun of him; that they must treat him well and never be cruel to him; furthermore, that
they must maintain secrecy and tell no one of their fortune. Hu’ia returned to the Thunders and stated that he had found a good birthplace for the spirit with medicine people among whom it seemed very proper for it to be born.

When they learned where the spirit was to be born, all the Thunders came; not one was absent. In order to point out the tipi Hu’ia took the lead. They did not send the spirit down immediately, but in a dream told the woman that they had brought her a boy; they told the husband that they had now brought what had been promised him. About 10 [lunar] months later, the boy was born.
