Enupits, who are pigmies dwelling about the springs and Rock Rorers, who live in the cliffs. Their gods are zoic, and the chief among them are the wolf, the rabbit, the eagle, the jay, the rattlesnake, and the spiders. They have no knowlwdge of the ambient air, but the winds are the breath of beasts living in the four quarters of the earth.
For most of the first half of the book, Powell goes on and on about his description of the mountains and everything he sees around him. Later in the reading he begins to describe his encounters with he different tribes of Indians. It is very noticeable that he has a very negative opinion about them, he does not hesitate to express his sincere opinions against them. Further into the book I discovered that his views and opinion about the Indians shift in a positive way. Powell expresses himself with respect for their traditions and the way they care for their families he also learns to recognize the Indians like human beings and not like savages who honor animals as gods .
