Two Sisters and Acoma Origins (Dubois, p.8)
Read this source out loud (or have someone read it to you) and
stop any time something seems interesting or confusing. Every
time you stop, write something down. Underline, circle, make
notes, add questions – anything that will help you to better
understand the source when you want to come back and use it
again. This is called annotation and you should plan to annotate
every source you read for our class.
According to the Acoma Pueblo Indians’ origin story, the first
women in the world were two sisters, born underneath the
ground and sent above by Tsichtinako (Thought Woman). She
first taught them to plant corn, tend and harvest it, grind it for

7. food, and use fire to cook it. What follows is an excerpt from
one such story told in 1928 by residents of the Acoma and Santa
Ana pueblos to anthropologist Matthew W. Stirling. Native
peoples’ oral traditions recorded by ethnographers, have become
the source of much knowledge of Native history.
Tsichtinako spoke to them, “Now is the time you are to go out.
You are able to take your baskets with you. In them you will
find pollen and sacred corn meal. When you reach the top, you
will wait for the sun to come up and that direction will be called
ha’nami (east.) With the pollen and the sacred corn meal you
will pray to the Sun. You will thank the Sun for bringing you to
the light, ask for a long life and happiness, and for success in
the purpose for which you were created.” Tsichtina ko then
taught them the prayers and the creation song, which they were
to sing….
They now prayed to the Sun as they had been taught by
Tsichtinako, and sang the creation song. Their eyes hurt for
they were not accustomed to the strong light. For the first time
they asked Tsichtinako why they were on earth and why they
were created. Tsichtinako replied, “I did not make you. Your
father, Uchtsiti made you, and it is he who has make the world,
the sun which you have seen, the sky, and many other things
which you will see. But Uchtsiti says the world is not yet
completed, no yet satisfactory, as he wants it. This is the reason
he has made you. You will rule and bring to life the rest of the
things he has given you in the baskets.” … Tsichtinako next
said to them, “Now that you have your names, you will pray
with your names and your clan names so that the Sun will know
you and recognize you.” Tsichtinako asked Nautsiti which clan
she wished to belong to. Nautsiti answered, “I wish to see the
sun, that is the clan I will be.” The spirit told Nautsiti to ask
Iatiku what clan she wanted. Iatiku thought for a long time, but
finally she noticed that she had the seed from which the sacred
meal was made in her basket and no other kinds of seeds. She
thought, “With this name I shall be very proud, for it has been

8. chosen for nourishment and it is sacred.” So she said, “I will be
Corn clan.” …
When they had completed their prayers to the sun,
Tsichtinako said, “You have done everything well and now you
are both to take up your baskets and you must look to the north,
west, south, and east, for you are now to pray to the Earth to
accept the things in the basket and to give them life. First you
must pray to the north, at the same time lift up your baskets in
that direction. You will then do the same to the west, then to the
south and east.” They did as they were told and did it well. And
Tsichtinako said to them, “From now on you will rule in every
direction, north, west, south, and east.”
