Overview
This piece was originally communicated orally by David Peynetsa and was collected and transcribed by Dennis Tedlock in 1971. It is a brief conversational piece formatted somewhat like poetry. It describes an account of Zuni deer hunting rituals/behaviors that Peynetsa estimated to take place around the 1700s-1800s. He speaks about how long hunting trips would take, what the men would do once they got a kill, and some of the bad luck that might occur during the trip, among other topics.
