Dust filled the air, mountains shook, trees bent, all from the powerful wind of Mother Hawk's wings. Coyote ran this way and that; still she kept coming for him. After a long chase Mother Hawk's rage was exhausted. She landed in her tree to rest from the events of the morning. The wind storm from her wings blew out leaving a mountain of rubble greater than all the rest. The great mountain was called Pia Toya. The peaks of Pia Toya are marked with the talon strikes of that angry morning. Mother Hawk will always have Pia Toya as a reminder of her power and strength. Coyote will always have Pia Toya as a reminder of his shameful behavior. And as the talon marks became the pathways for spring water and creeks, the Gos-hute people who call Ibapah their home will always have a source of water in the desert. |
