The Echo / by Owen Clapp

The Hookooeko of Nicasio and Tomales Bay say:

Pe-tān'-yah the Lizard with blue sides [29] lives everywhere in the rocks and hills and woods. When he hears a loud noise he talks back. This is Si-yu-kā-i the Echo; it is Pe-tān'-yah talking back.


The Olamentko of Bodega Bay say:

The Echo is Sah-kah'-te talking back.


[29] The blue-sided lizard meant is Sceloporus occidentalis, a common species in the coast region of California.
