Isaac Edwin Black finds an old Indian

The town of Beaver was organized somewhat like the United Order and Isaac, along with other young boys herded the community cows on the hillsides. They were given no lunches to eat and they ate edible plants that Isaac knew about. Once day as they were searching for some of these plants, they saw an enclosure built of rocks. Being normal inquisitive boys, they decided to investigate. They found an old Indian woman that had been placed there according to Indian customs and left to die. When she saw the boys she began to yell loudly something that sounded like "Yak-i-way", which apparently meant, "go away" or "get out", and some very frightened boys "Yak-i-wayed" as fast as they could.
