“The good twin, Hahgwehdiyu or Teharonhiakwako (transl. Sapling), was born normally; the evil twin, Hahgwehdaetgah or Sawiskera (transl. Flint), forced his way out from under his mother's arm, killing her during childbirth. Hahgwehdaetgah, however, set the great darkness in the west to drive down the sun.”
