Pueblo people feel
that clay and rocks, like animals and plants, have their own feelings, and that
man must live on kindly terms with them.
In many pueblos,
making moccasins for the girl he was to marry came to be the sign of a young
man's competence.
Any skinworker
already had deer brains boiled and put away.
These were removed as soon as an animal was killed, boiled a short time,
then wrapped in cornhusk so they would keep.
