In the four directions from her house she undergoes a change.  She comes out of her house an old woman with a white bead walking stick.  She walks toward the East and returns middle aged;  and she carries no walking stick.  To the South she walks and returns a young woman.  She walks to the West and comes back a maiden.  She goes North and returns a young girl.  She is called the White Bead Woman, Yol'gai esdzan.  She has three names, and the second is Changeable Woman, Atsan a'layee.  The third is Yol'gai atate, the White Bead girl.  She has these three names, that is her power.  Only one person knows the origin of her power, he is the Most High Power Whose Ways Are Beautiful.
