The First Teeth go to Soo-wah-tah, the Gopher
THE FIRST TEETH GO TO SOO-WAH-TAH, THE GOPHER
The Middle Mewuk of Tuolumne River say:
When a child sheds its first teeth they should be
saved and taken to Soo-wah-tah the Pocket Gopher, and carefully put into his hole. Then the second teeth will come quickly and grow to be strong and good.
