Tales of the Cochiti Indians

[21] The people of Cochiti were living on the mesa. At Jemez they had a deer dance (heemishikia). The dancers turned into deer and ran up into the mountains. They never came back anymore. For four days they made ceremonies in Jemez to bring them back, but they could not.
