(1 in a multiple picture album) The Native Americans who lived near Bryce Canyon (Paiutes) revered the place because they felt that each one of these sandstone columns (hoodoos) represented one of their departed ancestors. Here is the legend: "Before there were any Indians, the Legend People, To-when-an-ung-wa, lived in that place. There were many of them. They were of many kinds – birds, animals, lizards and such things, but they looked like people. They were not people. They had power to make themselves look that way. For some reason the Legend People in that place were bad; they did something that was not good, perhaps a fight, perhaps some stole something….the tale is not clear at this point. Because they were bad, Coyote turned them all into rocks. You can see them in that place now all turned into rocks; some standing in rows, some sitting down, some holding onto others. You can see their faces, with paint on them just as they were before they became rocks. The name of that place is Angka-ku-wass-a-wits (red painted faces). This is the story the people tell." Enlarge the picture and look at the individual columns and you might understand their belief. |
