Source text in English

The Pima Indians of Arizona say that the father of all men and animals was the butterfly, Cherwit Make (earth-maker), who fluttered down from the clouds to the Blue Cliffs[…] and from his own sweat made men. As the people multiplied, they grew selfish and quarrelsome, so Cherwit Make was disgusted with his handiwork and resolved to drown them all.[…]

There was one Hauk, a devil of the mountains, who stole their daughters and slew their sons. […] He silently followed him into the Superstition Mountains; he drugged the cactus wine that his daughter was to serve to him; then, when he had drunk it, Suha emerged from his place of hiding and beat out the brains of the stupefied fiend. […]

So firmly do the Pimas rely on this prophecy that they will not cross the Superstition Mountains, for there sits Cherwit Make — awaiting the culmination of their wickedness to let loose on the earth a mighty sea that lies dammed behind the range.
