Title Folktale: The mother's bones
Description A folktale told by Elizabeth Puiri. Two orphaned brother and sister whose mother died collected her bones. They placed her bones in a basket (hu'niso). One day the basket tipped over and their mother's bones formed into a human. They found it was their mother. They decided to run away fearing her. She ran after them, and finally was dismantled in the river she was crossing.
