Corn (Huñ) is the personified spirit of maize. In the widely told tale of Corn and Tobacco he is a young man living among the people who, slighted or shamed, commonly by a woman's insult during a gambling game, withdraws from the Gila villages, taking the crops with him and bringing famine. Only after entreaty and proper ceremony is he induced to return, restoring agriculture. His story, paired with that of Tobacco, encodes O'odham teaching on cultivation, reciprocity, and ritual etiquette.
