"Before there were any Indians, the Legend People, To-When-An-Ung-Wa, lived in that place. There were many of them. They were of many kinds-birds, animals, lizards, and such things-but they looked like people. For some reason, the Legend People in that place were bad. Because they were bad, Coyote turned them all into rocks. You can see them in that place now; all turned into rocks; some standing in rows, some sitting down, some holding on to others. You can see their faces, with paint on them just a they were before they became rocks..." -Paiute Indian legend.
