They were going deer-hunting. And páy nanu'ávahkam veekxavnamíchmiif (name of an ikxaréeyav, probably "black little-wolf of the sky") did this. He did this. His ten sons were killing lots of deer. And he wished that his children would have bad luck. So he copulated with his wife. And he ate the deer meat.

Then they went hunting again. They didn't kill anything. The next day they went hunting again (but were still unsuccessful). They stood around uphill there. They heard the deer (lit., "spirit's pets") everywhere. They were sort of crying somewhat. The (other) spirits were killing the deer. Then they thought, "Let's die!" They stopped hunting.

Then the littlest one said, "Let's hunt in the sky!" They ran around there in the sky. (But) there was nothing (i.e., no deer). They went back to the sweathouse.

Then the old man got up, their father. And he made medicine. Then he rubbed it on his children. Then they went hunting again. When evening hadn't (even) floated down yet, they were all doing nothing but carrying dressed deer meat.

Then (the father) thought, "If Mankind has learned it from me, Mankind will do this way too." I alone have learned it from you. I will do that too.
