These handwritten, undated research notes on an unlined note card, titled "Antelope + Deer -- Race of --," compare this theme in the myths of the Yokuts, Ute, Luiseño, and Jicarilla Indians. The Yokuts myth, as related in "Indian Myths of South Central California," A. L. Kroeber, University of California Publications: American Archaeology and Ethnology, Vol. 4, p. 50, explains why the deer hides in the brush but the antelope lives on the plains. The Ute myth has a cannibalistic stake. The Luiseño myth, as related in Vol. 8, p. 50 of the same series, has the antelope coming in first, with the deer second. The Jicarilla myth, as related in "Jicarilla Apache Texts," Pliny Earle Goddard, Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, Vol. 8, p. 237, has the deer winning, as the antelope has to race where there are no trees.
