I have been asking many people to help me find the proper ways to acknowledge the four chiefs/creators. I am happy to say that I have found an old video interview my chakup Tyson did of late Jerry Jack. In the video Jerry specifically identifies the four chiefs. He says the interior people...they pray to the four directions and us guys...we call it Hawiilth. Hilth?suu?isii-hawiilth-the one with power over the horizon; halth?a?suu?isii hawiilth-chief in the water; Ha?ya?a?ii hawiilth-chief of the mountain; ha?thlaapi hawilth-chief of the sky. Jerry went on to say ha?thlaapi hawiilth is the main man. He made daylight. He made us here...gave us resources to look after. I hope these teachings and words ring a bell. I would also like to learn how a yuutlhuuilthaqsuup would say these in the yuuthluuilthaht dialect. Any feedback is very much appreciated.
