Geographical stories
- YG243 (Pekwtehl 1)
• "There used to be a sand spit running up-stream from the upper end of this rock,
but the current shifted and carried it away."
- Pekwon Jim, "Pelin Chiik Caught in the River", YM389 (Pekwtehl 1)
• "Now Pelin Chiik lives there by that rock. When one who knows it passes in
a boat, he watches, and when the boat is abreast of the rock, toward the middle of
the stream, he claps his hands for luck and says, Cho' skuye'n soo nu hegok' ki
yahpelin 'ne-kwomhlechok' ['I hope I travel well and will be happy when I
return']."
