The Next (spirit) one is Old Nick [English term for the Devil]. Him some term "Key-jick-oh-kay". I cannot at present give the proper significance to this name, for I am not sufficiently acquainted with the language, but it appears to me as to mean "he who made the Day or Skies or resides in the Sky." This one they represent wicked, and terrible, inexorible to the highest degree; always plotting evil, and endeavering to circumvent the rest of the creation; is always jawing and brawling; but when the other (to some the Supreme Being - Wee-suck-a-jaak - "The Greatly Charitable Spirit") appears he orders him in a peremptory manner, "hold thy Tongue; Get thee hence, thou deceiver; thou ill-liver." But these words are uttered in such an authoritative and commanding tone that the Indians themselves are quite astonished, to see one who is so uncommonly kind and indulgent to them in every respect; so tender and affectionate, even in the choice of his words, assume so suddenly and with so much authority so much Power over one whose name alone they never utter but with the greatest dread and horror. Their Horror of the Devil is so great, that no one ever utters it but when unavoidable; and if thro' inadvertancy or ignorance one of their children should mention it he is severely reprimanded by all who hear.
There is a small possibility this legend grew out of a change in the pattern of the passing of the sun across the sky. Wee-suck-a-jaak commands the Key-jick-oh-kay to keep quiet. Joshua commanded the sun to be silent. The word used in Joshua 10:12 is to be still but the Hebrew meaning is to be silent.
A second legend of a long night where a hunter waits many hours for morning is also given. This is consistent with the other native american legends.
The People were dissatisfied with the sun, and thought they would make a new one. They appointed Coyote to be the sun. He took up the duties, and went his rounds. Whenever he saw married women commit adultery or young women fornicate, he would call and let all the people know. This angered some of them very much. He also came so near the earth sometimes, that the people were almost burned. They deposed him, and put Red-Shafted Flicker in his place. Later on the latter laid an egg, which was changed into the present-day sun. (Pheonix Bird?)
