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."
