Ánahohoátchi

Also known as: the two brothers Ánahoho / Ánahoho · Family: the people (Áshiwe) · Role: the two next younger brothers of K‘yäk´lu · First appears: Section 19 · The Choosing of Seekers for Signs of the Middle

In Section 19, Kâ´wimosa sent Ánahohoátchi, the two next younger brothers of K‘yäk´lu, southward to guide one another. They lingered by the way.

By Section 40, the two brothers Ánahoho had returned to their people’s desolate cities. They searched for K‘yäk´lu, even tearing down chimneys to look for him, but did not find him; their soot-blackened faces became “flat and masked with the black hand-mark of dismay.” In Section 41, they sent after their brother the souls of the possessions people brought them, and “to this day they follow their brother, seeking ever, finding never.”
