[RSL Synthesis: This story is about Wind-Woman and her children. She had 4 sons and a daughter. When the children reached adolescence they went out to travel the world. Wind-Woman gave her daughter a magic staff and told her to watch over her brothers and keep them from harm. They traveled to a town, and the brothers staked their sister in a game of shinny. The brothers won the game. They continued on, and for three more villages they repeated their shinny challenge and won. Each night the sister had a growing apprehension of danger. On the fifth night, the house they were staying in turned to rock. The sister was able to escape, but the brothers were trapped. The sister returned home for her mother.]

[p. 31-32] ...On the fifth day they two finally arrived there. Then the old woman began to try her own (magic) several times. She would touch the ground gently with her stick, and the ground would at once split in two. "Look!" exclaimed the youngest (of her boys' captors), "what on earth is the old woman doing?" Then she gradually increased (the speed) of her motions and arrived straight (at the place) where (the rock) had closed on her children. She walked around the house several times and sang. (Then) she put her stick quickly to the southern wall; but the house did not move (even) a little. Again she put her stick on the northern wall; still it did not move (even) a little. "Look, the old woman is indeed getting angry," said the youngest (of her boys' captors). Then again she applied her (magic) cane (to the house). Finally, at the fifth time, she touched the top (of the rock) with her (magic) cane (saying): "I am Cyclone." No sooner had she placed her cane there when the rock split open. Her children were standing (in exactly) the same (position) as they were in when they were dancing. Then she told them to leave (the house). Then after they came out they all started homeward. Whenever they stopped at a village (where they had played shinny), they took with them the women they had won previously. (At each village) she came to the old woman put her (magic) cane to the ground. The place would turn over quickly and all the inhabitants would be buried underneath. Then they would start home again. Once more they would come to a river and would stop again for the women whom (the boys) had previously won. And the old woman would do the same thing as before: she would suddenly upturn the ground on the inhabitants, whereupon they would start out again. Now (whenever) they would arrive (at a village) the old woman would thus do it to the inhabitants. At last they arrived home. "We will now fix ourselves (differently)." (Thus said the old woman.) "You will turn into winds." And, verily (it happened) thus. "I myself will travel in the ocean. Cyclone (will be) my name. If anyone should happen to dream of me, he will have the same power as I (possess)." Thereupon she went into the middle of the ocean. Here now (the story ends.)

[RSL Synthesis:This is part of a long story about Su'ku the transformer. It begins with a story Su'ku's revenge for the murder of one of his sons, who Su'ku brought back to life. Further adventures follow, including the Thunderers returning Su'ku's son from the sky to earth wrapped in a whale skin, and Su'ku's transformation to a whale. Su'ku then undertakes a journey along the coast, during which he names and modifies the world.

[p. 85] ... Then not long (afterward) he came once more to a river. Then he stood (there) for quite a little while thinking in his mind, "I wonder what shall be its name? Yes, Siuslaw will be its name, and (the place) where I stand will be called "Wai'dusk." Then when he finished he said, "I will go upstream that I may examine the rivers." Then he did not go very (far) upstream when he stopped for a while (at a certain place) and said, " I will try to fish with a pole." So indeed he began to fish with a pole. But (it was) not long before a monster appeared (who) opened his mouth and bit at his bait. So he jerked him quickly to the shore, and where (that monster) fell (to the ground) it split the mountain into two, and only his tail was sticking out. And the (place) where that previously mentioned whale fell became covered with water. Then as (Su'ku) was about to depart he said, "This place will be called Line-Fishing Ground, because I was fishing here with a line." And this is why line fishing is being done (now), because he did so (at that time.) ....

[p. 89]... Then it was not long before he came to a river, which he was going to cross. But just as soon as he came down to the water some monsters with their mouths open approached him. So he turned back there. Then not long (afterward) he tried again; but the same thing happened, and he (was forced to) turn back again. Finally, when he came to the shore he said: "I wonder what shall I do to them now? Yes, I will turn back and fetch some sand." So, indeed, he went back, and when he came again to where he had cone down previously to the beach he began to scoop up much sand. Then he went back and that place where he dropped the sand became a beach. Then when he arrived again at the river from where he had previously turned back he threw out a handful (of sand) into the water, whereupon the river became dry. Then he crossed over, and after he arrived at the other side he went on. Then as soon as he came to that prairie he walked around in different directions and began to break wind all over the place. This is the reason why the Yahach prairie has camas all over, because he did so (at that time). And, moreover, he also gave its name to this place. ...
