Zuni Creation Stories The Loss of the Great Southern Clans
   The Seed clans arrived, and strove to cross the waters, but as it had chanced to the others so it happened dismally with them, until the commotion became loud and multitudes of those behind, nearing—even many of the Midmost clans—turned and fled far southward along the bank, seeking a better crossing and fled so far that they were lost to sight speedily and strayed never to return!

   They became the fathers and mothers of our Lost Others—lost ever since that time.
