Native American Navaho

There is a clan called the Mexican clan, Nakai dinae'e. This clan is closely related to the clan called Tqo yah ha'tline because a man from that clan captured a Mexican girl and the Spaniards captured an Indian girl. They planned to take the Mexican girl back to her people because the mother of the Indian girl grieved so greatly. They thought to exchange these girls, but the Indian girl escaped and returned; so they kept the Mexican girl and the clan Tqo yah ha'tline adopted her. She founded the clan Nakai dinae'e.

The same clan captured a Ute girl and her clan was called the Ute Clan, No'da dinae'e. They are related to the two above-named clans.

There were many people all over the country by this time.
