Question

Legendarily, these people once lived alongside a race of tiny fisherman who lived beneath the leaves of the butterbur plant. A culture hero of these people who wields a mugwort spear was born from an elm tree. The hearth goddess of these people instructed women to make sacred girdles called kut, for which she is known as the “People (-5[1])Teacher.” A wagtail stomped upon patches of mud to create land in the creation legend of this people, whose men may wear (*) sapanpe (“suh-PAWN-pay”) crowns decorated with shaved wooden sticks called inaw (“ee-NAW-oo”). Members of this people group tell wepeker (“way-PAY-kair”) folktales and recount longer epics known as yukar. These people, who traditionally worshiped the owl deity Cikap and the killer whale god Repun, perform a ritual (-5[1])called iomante, during which (10[1])they would drink the blood of a sacrificed bear cub.
