The one was named, The Woman of the Light or The Woman of the Morning; the other was the Woman of Darkness or the Woman of Evening.
The brothers lived together in one tent with these women, who each in turn went out to work.

When the Woman of Light was at work, it was daytime; when the Woman of Darkness was at her labors, it was night.
In the course of time one of the brothers disappeared and the other determined to select a wife from one of the two women, as it seems he had not yet chosen.

He watched what the Woman of Darkness did in her absence, and discovered that she descended into the waters and enjoyed the embraces of a monster, while the Woman of Light passed her time in feeding white birds.

In course of time the former brought forth black man-serpents, while the Woman of Light was delivered of beautiful boys with white skins.
The master of the house killed the former with his arrows, but preserved the latter, and marrying the Woman of Light, became the father of the human race, and especially of the Dene Dindjie, who have preserved the memory of him.[1] [Footnote 1: _Monographie des Dene Dindjie, par_ C.R.P.E.
