Chon'ndá vee — literally 'the woman of the dragging water', and known regionally as Chjoon Ndave, Shondá ve', Na Lisa, Na Isabel or simply Chjoon — is the Mazatec female owner of water, counterpart to the earth-lord Chikón Tokoxo. The widely told Huautla narrative makes her a water-maiden, daughter of the gods, who is bound by marriage into Chikón Tokoxo's family on the sacred hill; cast out by a jealous mother-in-law, she flees as a thin crawling sheet of water across the sierra, pronouncing the name of every spring, river and settlement she passes, and so author of the region's sacred toponymy — elders map dozens, even more than a hundred, of Huautla's water-sources to her flight. The twenty-day Chan-maje period, 'the time of the great thunder', is associated with her in the Mazatec agricultural calendar. Whether named as Chikón Tokoxo's wife or his daughter-in-law varies by version, but in all she is reckoned a power over water as great as his over the earth.
