I'll tell you a story. A bear  was following           a path.

Likewise there   a coyote was coming  following it. Then

they met.             The bear said to          the coyote, 

"Nó'héhnêstse! Hé'tóhe  nameo'o," éxhetóhoono. "Hová'âháne, 
"Move aside!   This (is)my path," he told him. "No,

likewise move aside!   This (is) my path," he told him.

While they were arguing    slowly appeared     a skunk. "Scram! 

Hé'tóhe   nameo'o," éxhetóhoono.  Éxhe'kenéma'evonêhnéhoo'o.   
This (is) my path," he told them. He slowly turned around.

He slowly went backwards. When they saw him they both scattered off.

They were not caught sight of  wherever  they ran off.
