The latter replied,-- "There is more land yet at the Tyuonyi; let Shyuamo increase their ground from some waste tract." "There is no room for it," growled the Koshare Naua.
"I say there is," defiantly retorted the other.
The delegate of the Prairie-wolf people was not only of the same opinion as his predecessor, he even mentioned a tract of waste land that lay east of the cultivated plots, from which Shyuamo might take what they needed.

The speaker of Tzina hanutsh, however, was of an adverse opinion.

He remarked that it was always better for a smaller clan to divide their ground with a more powerful one, as in that case larger crops would be raised.

As matters stood, he added, only a portion of the land belonging to the Water people was tilled.

This the member from Huashpa denied, and reminded him that the Hishtanyi Chayan had suggested that the whole matter should be settled by the two clans privately.
