There were two girls there.

I asked whose were that lacrosse net and snowsnake hanging on the wall.


Teyakwatênôté' wa'ákë'.
The one girl said they belonged to their brother.

The other one said he didn't know how to use either one though.


Ta unë wa'ákë' hë'ë.
Then the first girl said it wasn't know-how that was the problem.

Their cousin touched them and broke the charm.
