Episode Details

Whirlpools, a lost trader, and a peace. At Un'tiguhi', the Pot-in-the-water, a canoe is drawn into the Suck, and the survivor looks down through the water to a company beckoning below. Yahula of Dahlonega tastes the Immortals' food and can never eat with humankind again — his visits home, his stone house, and the songs heard on Yahula creek. Then the Seneca Peacemakers: Mooney's tradition of the Cherokee–Iroquois wars, compressed, and Wafford's account at full length — the lost embassy, the chief who shielded the messenger with his own body, the parable of the covered spring, and the wampum belts kept for a century, until the fire at John Ross's house. Per the shelf's exclusion rule, two items of Mooney's printed sequence are omitted from this part — No. 88, the first-contact anecdotes, and No. 90, the story of Hiadeoni — and are documented in the exclusion register. Source: James Mooney, Myths of the Cherokee (1900), public domain; fresh in-house renderings faithful to Mooney's record, told in Mooney's order.
