daiʾ-kiiyaahaang1Outside People, Little People Beings, Dwarf Spirits, Aliens"The shamans of the Kato were of three classes: ... and the chg͡hályis͡h, who were not healers at all, but the restored victims of the diminutive 'outside people,' possessing the faculty of foreseeing the future in dreams." (Curtis, p.14)
"Sometimes a person would have what apparently was a fit of insanity, which the Kato attributed to his having encountered in the night one of the taí-kyáhaṇ ('outside people'). These beings were quite black, and small in stature. To combat this affliction the náchŭhlna sang, shook their rattles, and called on the 'outside people.' Suddenly several of these creatures appeared, or it was pretended that they appeared. A medicine-man shot, one of the taí-kyáhaṇ fell, and the others disappeared. The shamans leaped upon the fallen one, covered it with brush, and in a short time carried it away to a secluded place.1 The patient then recovered, but always remained subject to fits of insanity, in which he wandered about the village at night, shouting and singing; and he had dreams in which future events were foreseen. For instance, he might dream that on the morrow the men would go hunting and would kill four deer, no more. When this dream was made known, the chief would of course bid his hunters go forth, and they would kill just four deer." (Curtis, pp.16-17); "Another kind of spirits were called taikya ́hang, 'outdoor people,' Englished as 'devils.' The informant [Bill Ray] related a meeting he had with one of these taikya ́hang as follows: Once when I had killed five deer, the white man for whom I was working sent me with another Indian to bring them in. Then I saw a double redwood tree. One trunk went up straight, the other came out of the ground at an angle. In the leaning trunk was a door. I climbed up to it with a long stick. The door was round, a foot and a half across, of neatly smoothed bark. It looked as if it had been laid on during the rain and now stood open. I looked in and saw that there was a dark, deep hole in the tree, smooth like a tub. It was warm inside, as from a recent fire. I called down, 'Hello, you,' but there was no answer. Finally I was able to make out a horn wedge lying at the bottom of the hole. I slid down, met my companion again, and told him what I had seen. He said, 'that does not belong to a human being, but to a taikya ́hang. You will die soon. He nearly killed Simms (our white employer) in the same place.' As I went on, the ground rang hollow underfoot as if there were a big dance house beneath. My father later told me that the house in the tree followed the roots underground for a long way. Soon I saw a double rainbow; then it was gone. Then my heart nearly umped out of my mouth three times; I vomited and felt almost dead. I called out to my companion to wait for me, and shot of my gun. After a time I caught up with him; but was reeling as I walked. Looking back, I saw the taikya ́hang at his tree house, sitting stretched out, leaning over. He was so gaunt that his bones showed, and was gray or whitish as if painted. He looked weak and sleepy: perhaps I had shot him with my gun.'"
