Question

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:

You know, everything had to begin, and this is how it was: the Kiowas came one by one into the world through a hollow log. They were many more than now, but not all of them got out.
They called themselves Kwuda and later Tepda, both of which mean “coming out.” And later still they took the name Gaigwu, a name which can be taken to indicate something of which the two halves differ from each other in appearance.
