Geographical story
- Johnny Shortman, "The Obsidian Cliff at Rek'woy", YM445 ('O Schegep' 2)
• "A 'woogey said that he would make red obsidian. That is why the cliff
beyond the mouth of the river is red. One can see that it is striped, as some
obsidian is. He who said this was one of those who later went off into the hillls.
When the 'woogey went off into the hills, they stopped turning the cliff into
obsidian. If these human beings had not arrived, the 'woogey would have made
obsidian there. Because they withdrew, back from the river, hey no longer wanted to
see that place be obsidian and stopped making it so."
