"The creator Chĕ́nĕs͡h, who is identified with lightning, dwelt in the sky. Below was an expanse of water with a rim of land in the north. With his companion Nág͡hai-cho ('walker great') he descended and turned a monstrous deer into land." (Curtis, p.17)
"In that place, unknown to Nághai-cho, was Ínchĕ-tánân ['deer soft'], a very large deer with enormous horns. To this animal Chĕ́nĕs͡h said: 'Walk southward. When you get far enough, I will stop you.' So the Deer went toward the south, and in some places the water was so deep that only the tips of its horns were visible, but in other places its whole body stood out. Far in the south it stopped and lay down, and at that instant Chĕ́nĕs͡h was beside it. Though there had been in the world no trees nor stones nor soil, Chĕ́nĕs͡h had a pine tree and two stones. He laid the tree down and told the animal to rest its forehead on the trunk, and he placed a stone on each side of the deer. Then gradually the creature turned into soil and rock, and it became the earth, and in time all the water sank and left the earth dry. Earthquakes are caused by this deer turning on its side."
