Abstract
"The Wanapums have told as much as they know and typical of their custom, they chose to leave specific questions to people in whose real domain the question is centered. This is in conformance to their belief that the Mother Earth itself knows those who belong in certain areas, and they do not wish to offend by being intruders. [Were ill fortune to befall a man hunting or fishing on land where he did not belong, the Wanapums took it as a matter of course that the Mother Earth was offended by the intruder and misfortune resulted]."
