The man who married the moon, and other Pueblo Indian folk-stories, The Hero Twins, sentence 2
For some reason which I do not know, these demigods do not figure as clearly in the Tée-wahn myths as among the other Pueblos, the Navajos and the Apaches; but that they are believed in, even in Isleta, there can be no doubt.
Who acts: I, demigods · What happens: not know, not figure, believe · To what, where: reason, Tée myths, demigods, Isleta
