Ruhua ru'man hio'ó gatsi--In the hole of white dirt

Chicahuaxtla Triqui (ISO code [trs]) is an Otomanguean language spoken in San Andrés Chicahuaxtla and eleven other communities located in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The text presented here is a legend titled “Ruhuâ ruˈman hioˈó gatsii” ‘In the Hole of White Dirt’. The legend was written and recited by Felipe Santiago Rojas, a native-speaker of Triqui. According to the legend, the Hole of White Dirt used to be a lake where the plumed serpent once lived. The legend describes the area as rainy with gushing brooks, pine trees, green foliage and pristine waters. During the day, the plumed serpent would come out to rest in order to soak up the heat of the sun’s rays. The villagers, however, avoided walking near the lake for fear that the plumed serpent would swallow them. As time passed, the plumed serpent became annoyed with the overpopulation of the village and mankind’s destruction of the environment. Consequently, the plumed serpent abandoned the lake to seek out a better place to live. Once the plumed serpent left, the rains no longer returned so the lake dried up leaving in its wake what is now known as the Hole of White Dirt.
