Language of Indigenous Descriptionnoa
DescriptionOne of our ancestors went uphill with his wife to look for life; since he didn't want to prepare meat and other things he had killed. The vultures came to where he was, and he kept asking if they would take him with them, but they never did, until one day they did take him with them and after some time passed, he became one of them.

Note: Chindió thinks that the narrator's last name is Carpio.
